Show me the way

Show me the way

A Poem by Violet O'Brien

Hold my hands
My knuckles are broken
Cradle my head
There are cracks in it
Cover my eyes
They are blinded from the light
Do you see these wounds I hold
This hole in my heart
This emptiness in my stomach
I am falling apart
Put me back together
Help Me
Find the way
To a light that doesn't blind me
To a society that accepts me
To a place that I can call home
Guide me
To the person I should be
Wrap my wounds and help me recuperate
So That I can stand again
So that I can be strong again
And no longer be weak and subservent
Make me a warrior again
Don't let me become a slave again
Help me spread my black wings
And fly strongly away from this pain
This hallowed empty feeling
That just seems to be getting worse
So deep in the black abyss
Submerged by such a dark depression
That I can't feel you holding me
I can't feel the happiness I used to feel
And I can't understand why
I just want to feel the sun
Warm on my face
Healing my body
Keeping me warm
As you hold me close
And I can hear you heart beating in my ears
Just hold up a guiding light
Show me the way...
