A few years ago
I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t write
I was terrified
like you.
Speechless and dreamless
full of fear and darkness.
I didn’t know who I was
I was a kind of mess
I was terrified
like you.
I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t cry
My desire was to die.
I know you understand what I mean
I drowned in reality.
I wasn’t terrified like before.
I became numb
more and more.
No one could save me
No one could rescue me
In one moment of light
I realized
I had to say goodbye to my old life.
This changed my mind.
I fought – and survived
It was hard
I was scared
I was purified -
every day and
every night.
A few weeks ago
I visited your show.
Your lines sank
beneath my skin.
By listening to your music
I recognized
You and I, we share many lines.
The echo of insight
gaining hope
and learning to feel free -
Let me see
my own reality.
And now, I’m sitting here
Spitting my heart out
still full of fear.
But through you I found the light
Writing my soul out
and holding it tight.
In your voice
I found me
And this helps me
no more to flee.
Thank you.
There is a thread
between you and me
woven by the tragedy.

Thank you for being a light in the dark @Takida
When you see no light anywhere,
remember this:
You shine on your own.
You light the way for many paths.
And you are never alone.
