I Wish...

I was alone
all around I saw nothing
just darkness..

no one to help
and I screamed and begged..

Let me out
set me free

How loud must one shout?
How hard must one push?

I wish..

that someone was there to help
that someone was there to guide me
I was a child in need of love
treated like a criminal
I was outcast
bashed by the cynical
stones thrown
scared and alone
twisted, convinced I was wicked
because I was different
a family who feared me
parental and social tyranny
choking out my light
gleefully grinning at my demise
waiting to see the life leave my eyes

internally bleeding out
and I know they couldn't see me
refused to heal my wounds
refused to see the loving side
I tried and tried
I wanted to be seen
but now I feel
the darkness living inside of me

years later..

I will never let another suffer
at the hands of mass hostility
thrown aside by family
and burned at the stake of hate

children painted indigo
cast in a filthy light
they fight to be recognized
for others to see that they are good inside
they cast a powerful glow
beautifully radiant they change the world
feared by hysterically delirious extremists
by politically corrupt hypocrites
seeking control and power
fearing the loud sound of change
brought by the children of truth

spirits crushed by the weight of hate
misunderstood by those who fear the unknown
we were children with starlight in our eyes
suffering under the weight of depression
oppressed by the demons in our lives
sons and daughters of the Highest Source
seeking freedom and change
to hack away the chains
that bound us to their hate and rage

we fought and though outnumbered
we pushed and we pulled
some of us fell, some of us lost the fight
some of us finally opened our eyes and saw the light
becoming one with the power inside our souls
we rose with our heads held high
mourning the loss of those who did not make it
we trembled, yes
we were shaken, yes

we still have our scars
connected by the energy of this earth
we hold out our arms
so we may heal those who are broken
so one day none will suffer again

and I promise...

I promise my love won't die
that I will fight
and pray for those who fear the light

we weren't born to be segregated into classes
forced to march to the beat of spiteful masses
driven away, threatened and punished
when we refused to obey
breaking away from the crowds
but forced into thinking we should live with shame
we were not born for this
yet they still insist..

I wish..

I wish that one day
this world will embrace change
