• Safe


    Lights blinded me,
    but not from the truth,
    they saw right through me,
    but not through you
    as I crept away,
    from all I knew
    they left you behind
    and
    I had not a clue

    I saw myself,
    from a different view,
    the voices around me,
    told me all about you,
    I grew safe,
    with the thought,
    just be brave,
    or not
    I’m here nor there,
    though you’re not aware

    Let me walk,
    find a better place,
    let them talk,
    while I find my grace

    Release me,
    I’ve slurred enough,
    Shut me out,
    they called your bluff,
    I can see the light,
    so hold on tight now,
    child look away,
    tomorrow’s a new day
