Rise

When the quiet creeps in
And shadows cover the affection of your heart
When friends walk away
Or what they were departs

When lonely voices
Drip like honey
Inside your heart
Calling you further into the darkness

Gather what remains
scrape together,even the crumbs of your courage
Call to the light
Run to even the smallest glimmer of hope

Gather your strength
Find a way to rise
Fight for your life
Determine you will live

Though ashes cover you
Though disappointment fills your heart
Though hope feels far
Reach out, fight for yourself and

Rise.
