The window is open
It lets in the wind
My breath has been stolen
I swear I'll never sin
I clench the bed sheets
Bite my raging tongue
Tears stream down my cheeks
I fight back the urge to run
Because I know this is no longer today
The pain right now isn't real
I will learn to silence my hate
Eventually the raging sea
Will become still
I know this is not tomorrow
Because I have hope that light is coming
I can feel it in my soul, it's close
I can't lose myself in this mourning
It is not happening today
It will not happen tomorrow
Because I have the will to survive
I will not succumb to sorrow
I must remember to breathe
It helps keep me alive
I knew when it was time to leave
Because I knew safety would be mine
I know in this moment it is over
That pain can't control me now
I know it will still take me over
But I am strong
And I will find a way out
Yesterday will never be today
And it won't be tomorrow either
The pain won't take me down
It will not last forever
Because I have a heart of courage
And I have the soul of a survivor
I will fight with
Every ounce of my strength
Until I can't feel my bones
Even when I take my last breath
They will never win
Because I know the light
Will lead me home
