can you hear it ?

can you hear it ?

the tears that i have accumulated and stored all my life

are welling up against the dyke of my being

no more escape from the anguish i feel

no, there shall be no more fleeing

i will open the flood gates and water the garden

the place where my seeds have been sown

i lived with the full expectation of this day

it has always been coming and i have always known

there would come a time of my soulful reconciliation

where i must turn to face my neglected dark side

they told me that the light would overcome

but now i come to know with certainty that they lied

one must come face to face with their own demons

or they will always lurk deep within the recesses of heart

perhaps when i stand and confront these subtle fears

these Demons of mine will gather their baggage and part

so i will no longer ascribe to the teachings of man

for my struggle is personal and belongs only to me

though you may identify with the music i now sing

follow your own drum and thus you will be free

can you hear it ?
