I wake to find my tender heart still beating
My young body cannot, no will not move
Fear creeps in fast and I feel like retreating
But I will not because I have something to prove
Time trickles down to a mind numbing crawl
And as I struggle to pry open my tired eyes
I realize I am just a child, weak and small
Cold fingers twitch but still I cannot rise
My skin awakens with the sound of a voice
That moves across me like a horde of flies
Strange words fall on deaf ears for I have a choice
The hatred of it drips onto me like unkind lies
I scream aloud but no one can hear my pleas
My eyes flutter open and I can finally see
But the icy denial causes my blood to freeze
The voice chants and there is nowhere to flee
Memories pierce the soul with quite trickery
And my young mind is shocked and reeling
I'm lost in transient thoughts of love and misery
All while I lose my gracious sense of feeling
People from the past and the present, all mourners
I call out to them but sound does not escape my lips
As darkness creeps towards me from every corner
Fear claws at my inner core with a desperate grip
With all the will I can summon I call out a name
Lord help me, release me from this evil sight
Instantly the weight was removed from my delicate frame
The day was mine but was I able to comprehend this new light
