I searched for many years
I cried many tears
I faced many fears
On searching in the distance
On searching I reached
On searching nothing tangible, my grasp loosed
Wrong after wrong after
Place after place after
A long while after
Survivor of self
Self inflicted pain
Self doubt
Past is now past now
Hurt is now past now
Searching is now past now
I rise to face fear
I rise to face pain
I found
Myself defined by action
Words loud no more
I found light
I shine giving
Permission to shine
You rise
