So safe, holding it all inside,
no need to look at the pain that reside.
The world is busy, easy in we fade,
to avoid the truth and the mind games played.
Distractions are many and keep on falling,
they grip us to escape our hearts’ calling.
We do not see that we are floating,
we only feel the unrest.
A call to heal, to be our best.
We ignore the whispers; we push them aside.
We fear the unknown deep inside.
We run from ourselves because it is easy to hide.
Until that one crack, and it all comes pouring,
then we understand the phoenix soaring.
We fight to find the meaning in the pain,
how to soar through the storm and the rain.
We fight to find ourselves again.
Who might we be, who is me,
open your eyes so you can see.
To be alone with ourselves,
the silence is foreign.
Love yourself so you can start soaring.
It is scary, it hurts, and then comes the light.
The crack begins anew,
so your love can shine through.
We find our footing and we step again,
scared but empowered to live again.
Every chance we get to be in this fight,
is another feat of courage that brings in the light.
To know our deepest roots,
to love the solitary of you.
Let the healing flow,
grow unique and true.
Let the crack open,
let it all come pouring,
so you can be that phoenix beautifully soaring.
