***Rise Above***

The man is a giggling, happy go-lucky flirt,
who hides his bitterness beneath his smile,
and uses the hidden bitterness to hide his hurt.
The man is stunning, and has a God given gift,
But he waits for the day when the angels will lift
His soul from the despair that so holds him back
He can’t see what he has; only what he lacks.

The pain of his past- a bleeding ulcer on his heart.

He appears perfect and happy from the outside
But depth and complexity can tear one apart
He smiles for the imbeciles and longs for suicide.

Oh boy, you’re surrounded by darkness,
I know the ways you want to be consumed by night.
Oh boy, I’m surrounded by angels.
Please let me heal you and share with you my light.

Good exists but it is something you must find,
You can’t torture yourself replaying memories,
Then believe tranquility you can find.

Your hatred is going to burn you
and send you straight to hell,
I know what you are going through,
I know the aches too well.

Sometimes the answer is in letting go,
And believing someone greater than us is out there
Someone your logic and reasoning don’t know.
Sometimes it’s better to go to sleep
Than to lie awake and think
The contemplation can be too deep
You don’t know everything,
But believing you do can make you sink.

So let go boy, it is time to trust my love.
Death is not the only saviour
That can help you rise above.
