Freedom Through Ink

"Freedom Through Ink"
2010

In a state of hopelessness
Is truly where I lie
And if my life stays this way
Here is where I'll die
But I will fight to live
And shake this darkened cloud
That has sought to hang above
And display my misery so proud
But then you came walking in
And my world was not the same
For the clouds began to part
Girl, are you the one to blame?
Now it feels like staring at the sun
'Cause it hurts for me to see
My surroundings fade away
Each time you smile at me
Then I felt your fingertips
Bless these tired hands of mine
With a touch that's sure to heal
And could stop the sands of time
That fly around the hourglass
To show the world my wasted days
And as the seconds fight to pass
This soul is still amazed
That the goddess in my view
Would like to take my pain
And replace every ounce with love
So my lips cannot complain
Then I can resume my quest
To free my soul through ink
That forms the words upon this page
Just as fast as I can think
But then my thoughts begin to slow
And linger inside the mind
That I have been trapped inside for years
Where there was no peace to find
Now maybe that will change
Since this darling has arrived
Bringing fresh air within her breaths
That she is eager to provide
By breathing life into a soul
That most described as numb
And with the support she's sure to give
I'm eager to see what i'll become...
