Dawn

Underwater, shedding skin
swirling thoughts bubble to confusious beats
tears and wailing
of trouble and troubadours
singing blood red fear
crusading for lies and truth
be told covers my eyes
that seeing in front of me
for what's in front of me
obscurred by fear and pain
keeps me alive
gives chest-swelling breath
strength courage to maintain
the struggle for sunlight
open air and freedom
to live.

That hope is dead when
Love keeps fighting.
