Give me a reason

From deep within I feel the pain
The secrets slowly rising up again.
My aching heart once did hide
The scars it held so deep inside.
A blanket of tears
Shatters like mirrors
Pieces of me lay broken
Whispering words left unspoken.
Once again, I’m brought to my knees
Begging for this hurt to ease.

Challenge me to stand
Grasping firmly my unsteady hand.
Provoke the light that’s been hidden;
Touch me in ways I’ve been forbidden.
Listen to my cries
Give me a reason to rise
From this tattered silhouette;
Bruised black, blue, and violet.
Cause my heart to heal from this pain
Loving me, as I learn to love again.
