I take a risk and once again
can feel the weight of the pen
as I work to tame the rampant thoughts
and dare to dream again
I watch the cold icy wind blow around my fragile skin
and yet I'm numb from within
observing without feeling, seems like sin
but take the chance and start to feel a flicker here and there-- so real
and suddenly I've broken free
I recall who I once used to be
and laugh out loud to think that I
almost let this flicker die
Cause I'm only human, as they say
I'll live this life day to day
and with a prayer on my lips
I leap into the snowy drifts
