Dusk falls, and I'm as dark as the night sky
But day breaks, and I feel born again
When will I be myself again? When will this pattern end?
Night falls, and feelings rupture the floodgates
And I break like I always do
When will the ghost quit haunting me? Want nothing more than peace
Same struggles, same battles
Same settings, different days
Anger, frustration
And hatred, I'm set aflame
Progress isn't always a golden shining light
But in the end, it will be alright, because
Out of the ashes and out of the darkness
A seed I will sow, and life will resurface
Inhale and let it go, flourish and grow
Like the flora, the flora and the fauna
Leaves fall, and they go dormant in my mind
My headspace becomes adorned with them
When will the grass turn green again? Brokenness never on the mend
After your winter
Brings frigid and lengthy days
Spring will awaken
And meet you with a warm embrace
Bitter feelings felt before will quickly melt away
And everything will be okay, because
Out of the ashes and out of the darkness
A seed I will sow, and life will resurface
Inhale and let it go, flourish and grow
Like the flora, the flora and the fauna
Breathe in, breathe out
I watch the ash roll out of my mouth
Like storm clouds then I take root
And bloom from the inside out
