Peace
In my dreams
I hear my scream
Pierce the darkness
Pierce my soul
Like the edge of my sanity
Nothing about this journey
Will kill me
I have moved mountains
I brought down false kingdoms
But who I am I would like to know
I forget who I was
I cannot care less who I will be
I make my future with the present
And the present is so tense
It will overwhelm me
Until I drown
Because I cannot swim
And the ocean is too deep
In my mind the movie plays
Over and over
Like a movie that I could not stop
The gun in my face
The epithets in my ear
The bottle that defiled me
The war where home should have been
Who am I
Why do I occupy this space
I need to stop breathing
So I can start life over
And have the courage
To ask someone to stay
Hold my hand
And take me to that place
Where I no longer need to
Scream
To be heard.
