Step by step

Painful dreams
memories schemed
a mountain of emotion I hold in me

When did I become so hollow,
lost in a mist of dreams
a mere puppet on strings

Break free my mind screams
climb out of your shell
let your soul fly free, soar into the unknown

A break in my heart a sore untended
a fever spreading through me
A quenching pain that rips
tears, and scars me

Blindly I fumble through this world
trying to find my way
Tired of feeling lost

climb the mountain step by step
clawing my way through thick muddle thoughts
the top never in view lost in a swirl of misty clouds
Where is the sun, the heat my shining star

Break through the mist,
show me the way
Strengthen my heart

I trudge harder still
climbing the mountain step by step
trying to make my way

To be lifted
gracefully held
strength below me
around me
inside me

I will climb my mountain step by step
and continue through another day.
