The Knowing

When everything shouts outside

When all the voices scream

I know it’s there, deep inside of me

Waiting

~

When the world trembles

Shattered by our meaningless ways

I know it’s there

Growing

~

My soul is scratched

My body is spent

There was nothing to win

I fought against ghosts that were laughing

~

I am mending my wounds

Humbly looking at the skies

Breathing in the life I was trying to escape

~

I am breathing for the first time

This is not death I was fearing

The dread came from living

~

And it was there all along

The knowing that when my knees would hit the ground

From a place deep within I would rise.
