I'll Be Back

You say, you're not worried

But I see the tension writhe in your bones

You're thinking of all those times

When you were broken and alone

But, you see, those moments

As rare and few as they weren't

Taught us a lesson for the future

Taught us to rise while being burned

And as we fought with flames behind our back s

Breathing out the fire that choked us

We had learned to fight back

with blood. Breaking the chains that detained us

And within those ashes that were charred

to core. We saw how its black could bring us hope

How just a hand in times of darkness could

teach us the meaning of being loved.

And so I say this, lest you worry. Don't.

Let your fears dissipate

This momentary hurdle won't be too long

And soon, I will be back okay.
