Toward The Light

(Hmmm)

I was a room without windows

Breathing in the dust of my own silence

The days were like rivers with no mouth

They swallowed me whole without sound

But one morning, the air moved differently

It touched my skin like a secret I had forgotten

I followed it past the torn places in me

Past the walls I built with trembling hands

Now the sky sits open in my chest

Light pouring through where the darkness lived

I am not the same, but I am here

And here feels wide, and warm, and alive

I drink the sun as if I’ve never tasted it

Let the wind write its story on my face

Every step is a small forgiveness

Every breath, a proof that I stayed

Now the sky sits open in my chest

Light pouring through where the darkness lived

I am not the same, but I am here

And here feels wide, and warm, and alive

(Hmmm)
