Showered in the moonlight
Naked and exposed
She sits alone at night
Knees pulled to her chest
Afraid to let her feet touch the ground
The chains hold her in her prison
Trapped in a cloak of low self esteem
Like a caged beast
She looks around
The moonlight shines through dirty windows
Casting shadows seen with blurred vision
She finds the strength deep inside
But not the will
She’s not going back
She’s here for good
And no one is there to break her fall
But it doesn’t matter
Not anymore
It feels like no one is on her side
Yet again
She heard it in the wind
She knew it was the end
Waiting – she’s lost her voice
from crying too loud

Helpless slave to this situation
Worry of the unknown
Anticipation
I wish I had a looking glass
Into the devious world
of circumstance

Sitting alone in the dark
I can’t wait around for a miracle
This ship is guided with tattered sails
Torn and distraught
I’m not feeling too well

My heart is beating way too fast
Is it love or is it fear?
I can’t help but wonder
The message is not very clear
I wish I was strong enough to stand

Sweat drips and feverish shiver
With my shaking hand I lift the bottle
Not longer tasting
I’m fading fast
Cryptic reality, my head is spinning

I don’t know how much time has passed

A wakening
Enter the desert
These wide open spaces
These intimidating places
I hover
And I see
Beyond the physical
Beyond the nature
Free to think; boundless
Open mind; fearless
Possibilities; endless
If only I were as brave
In the flesh
Or could care less
