Awakening from a slumber
that was decades too long
A sleep walking nightmare
A never ending dream
of silent screams
and tearless cries
Where pain festered,
while buried deep inside
So falsehoods were spoken
As I wore a mask
to conceal what was broken
beyond repair
.....So I thought
But the mask slipped
and the falsehoods died
The day I accepted God as my guide
and my spirit awoke
Causing my soul to rise
destroying the ties
that bound me to sleep
And now I reap
what I sow
For I am fully awake now....you know
and on my life....I have a grip
For with God I've developed
an interpersonal relationship

Rising from the darkness
that was nights too long
A dark cloud floating
An endless black hole
of loud whispers
and voiceless moans
Where love disappeared,
while knowing the need
So fabrications were voiced
as I breathed uneasily
to keep hidden the pain
beyond healing
.....So I thought
But the breathing eased
and the fabrications ceased
The day I let God take over
and my soul became new
Causing my heart to be cleansed
revealing my own truth
of my existence now brighter
and my burdens now lighter
For I am in full submission again
no more life on a downward spin
And now I can enjoy my life's trip
For with God I've developed
an interpersonal relationship
