Written by Melody and HastyWords
A whirlwind surrounds me
A tornado of debris dangerously circles
I sit calm amidst its calamity
As destruction consumes society
Arms outstretched towards me
Friends and enemies alike
They call for me to save them
Uncomprehendingly I stare back
Peaceful among all the misery
I’m learning to be my own hero
I reach my hands into the sky
And take energy from each new day
Sunshine resides within
Filling in the gaps from copious scars
All the tears I’ve shed have pooled beneath
Drowning the world I leave behind
I feel the strength inside of me, a liquid heat
Building with every beat of my heart, pulsing
I listen as the world cries out to me
Wanting, needing what I have found
I notice how bare, how lonely it is
The burden of taking them twitches
Yet now and then are barely distinguishable
At least I can stop those pretenses
I gather myself for battle
Inhaling my emotional spring
I step into the swirling chaos
To exhale the calm I bring
Armor made from every insult
Weapons forged from nasty thoughts
Nothing can touch this fortress
I need no battle strategy
To banish the passing storms
We must look internally
For the change we seek within
Must match an identity foreseen
That is beautiful and sad… it is also what my song ‘Walls of Stone’ is all about.
