I talk to the wind

I’m jealous of everyone that I see
Talking to the wind when it wont talk to me.
The words are malicious
They snap and they bite
And my throat clenches up with each word that I write.
I choke and I spit
I flail and I thrash
the spit on my lips once burnt is now ash.
And I lick it away all that I can
But I’m still standing here where I was, who I am.
I know that this feeling is mine and not borrowed
I’ve felt all those things, I’ve laughed and I’ve sorrowed.
This day is a new one
Bright and sincere
The sun in it’s rising, banishes fear
And my heart beats again
With strength and with light
Fills me with honesty, vigour and might.
Courage drips from my lips to my chin
I feel the darkness welling within
But I no longer fight it, we’re one, it and i
And I don’t need to stop it
I wont even try
Because I have the strength to go forward with grace
The dubious honour of leaving this place.
And the scars will remind me of lessons well learned
Of passion expended and gratitude earned.
I am the best of the people i’ve been
I know what I want and I know what I mean.
The wind whispers to me
Promising love
But I’ve opened my eyes and I’ve seen what’s above
so all I can do is step lively, step strong
And know that I’m standing right where I belong.
Cause that’s anywhere my sure feet choose to take me
They’ve always been with me, they’ll never forsake me
When all I’ve got left are my feet and my hands
And the rest of my body has made it’s demands
I will go to my rest
Full of pride, as is right.
And the wind can keep talking if that’s what it likes.
