It’s damp and cold in here Dark. I see no light I hear no sounds Silence. A noise; fluttering of feathers or wings I think. I try to see The darkness prevents me Fear. I am here, my friend? Who’s there? I cannot see Why can’t I see? Help! That’s why I am here What? I’ve come to guide you Where? Out of this hole, this loneliness How do you know? Silence. Where are you? I am here sweet child Breath. Who are you? Why can’t I see you? You will see, when you are ready Silence. How will I know? You will know Just allow yourself to feel love Sadness. I can’t, I’m afraid Don’t be, just try Your heart wants to feel No, I won’t allow it I refuse Fight it, you have the power Tears. Close your eyes I will show you Just what is inside you Fight. Open your eyes Look around Where am I? What is this place? This is your heart Do you see all the beauty? I must be dead This must be heaven No, it isn’t This is your world You created this beauty How? It has always been a part of you Why do I hurt? Because you must learn Overcome the pain Trust again I see you You are beautiful Thank you I am a part of you Sorrow. You will leave But I will always be near Just close your eyes Feel my presence I feel. You must never give up There is too much within you Silence. I am sad It will pass Please don’t go I must Be strong, use your heart It will lead you where you want to be Fly.
