Lifted Above the Storm

Heavy winds pushing hard against my chest. Every step feels like a fight.

But I still hear the voice in the noise. Headwind scream

tearing at my skin. Gravity pulling me back in. Every mile

feels like the end. I fall again and again

and again. Eyes down, hands in the dirt. Carrying all this

weight, all this hurt. I hear your name,

but I turn away. Afraid of what I'd have to say.

I'll go through the breaking clouds, I cut through the sound
