I Rise!

Underneath the oceans

sinking in the depths

when the world abandons

I think

when shall the right time come? 

when shall I rise again?

Waiting desperately for some years

which now appears like decades

the water has gone thick

Its time I risk it all

I say to myself

I shall rise soon! 

And then there's no story

without hurdles and hindrances

the soul shakes from within

Let this be a phase not stage

'This shall pass too'

I will rise soon! 

That night I became

my own exorcist

letting out the evil spirits

a crater left for filling now

lets start it over

Now I can rise again!

Then teeth dont bite

then nails dont scratch

then tears dont heal

just in the desperation

every piece of me

makes one sound

'I rise, I rise now!
