Broken but Still Here

Dear me, I heard the storm of silence pulling in.

Dear me, I saw you disappear inside my skin. Dear me,

I love you dearly. Help me, they call it madness,

try to tie you down. Help me, I'm screaming out your truths

without a sound. Help me, help me to love me. On the days

that you will lose me. Still breathing through the fire light Still chasing hope

with tired eyes. Still loving when your days were blue. Still learning what

is false and true. Still singing, though your voice would shake.
