If you an crawl from the pit,
and reappear in the sunlight,
you will find yourself there.
The remnants of a peaceful soul
and fiery spirit.
The music of laughter in you
that you thought had been lost.

If you can slip away from binding arms
and a steely grip,
you can find the wings
that will spring from your back
and the voice in which to sing
the words that were hidden
deep within your soul.

If you grasp the hidden strengths
that lie in wait for your remembrance
and have settled at the bottom
of a misjudged heart,
you will seperate his wicked lies
from the precious truth
and know who you've become.

If you stay on this path of freedom,
and close your ears to cold doubts,
and seal your heart to black fear,
you will be sheltered in hope
and cloaked in independence.
You will feel the shadows in your soul
fall away into the night.

If you will look for the growth of your heart,
and be peirced with the light,
you will discover the dreams
you once thought dead and gone
still breathe hope inside
and simply waited for this moment
to steal you out of darkness.

Comments by Kiara:
This was written after I left my abusive ex and found how much freedom I had, and begin to discover who I was. My mom is also in an abusive relationship and doesn't know how to leave, so it was also kind of written to her.
