We Be Rising

Watch me Burn

Broken mirror shards, my reflection a maze,

Every scar a chapter, every ache a song phrase.

Dark nights stitched to my back, a shadowed cape,

Ran through fire, left footprints in its shape.

Prescription bottles rattled, my history of shame,

Anxiety whispered, FaceTime'd my name.

Pain laced my spine, every step was a war,

But became a locksmith, kicked in every locked door.

We be rising, wings born and cashless

Burned my past, now Im seeing the flashes,

We be rising, the fighter gone wrackless

Chasing happiness through the smoke and the ashes

The pills steered me into almost getting killed

But my spirit spilled out, refused that build,

Doctors said “rest,” but I turned rest to fuel,

Still felt the pain, but my body's the tool.

Sutures couldn’t stitch the heart Ive had torn,

But out the cracks, a small light was born,

Addiction was part, but God's my Lord n King

I’m the symphony of wrong the song itself sings

We be rising, wings born and cashless

Burned my past, now Im seeing the flashes,

We be rising, the fighter gone wrackless

Chasing happiness through the smoke and the ashes

Strings swell, I’m the crescendo in motion,

Used my mind like waves in the ocean.

My heart's and mind finally came as one

Climbing out the pit, now reaching for the sun

We be rising, wings born and cashless

Burned my past, now Im seeing the flashes,

We be rising, the fighter gone wrackless

Chasing happiness through the smoke and the ashes
