Silence fills my mind
Deep within these walls
Of expectations, confusion,
Which way now?
A contest of freedom calls.
Conspicuous thoughts
Surge in my consciousness
Calling, shouting, then
Screaming at me
Of all my restlessness.
I need some peace
Oh if only to dream
Of unicorns, fairies,
And carefree trees
Wishful thinking it would seem.
This jewel I possess
In my heart deep inside
Protects and shelters,
Makes me stronger
No vengeance shall I abide.
I'll paint a new song
In my life and in my need
To inspire, redeem,
Lifting me up high
My hope will succeed!
