Heart beats slow
Hallways and strange folks rove
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid I'm trapped
Watching me stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly comes crashing
down
One step gone
[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for freedom
Do be afraid for you are hurt
Lost for a thousand years
Hurting for a thousand more?
Time stands still
Imprisonment in all it is
I will be brave
I will throw everything far away
What's stranded is someone, you?
Fear and no rest
Every hour has come to this
One step gone
[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for freedom
Now, do be afraid for we are fleeing
From a thousand tears
Lost here with a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find
A way out, time has brought a cloud
And all for nought
for a thousand years
Poured out for a thousand more
One step gone
One step gone

A poem that could be a song with chorus and all. Nicely worded
Would be enough interesting to hear that to music, enjoyed the read
Excellent write
Hello,
The paradoxes within these written lines are mind opening eyes for how humanity has lived as a global species. While some people still believe that originally there was peace the histories show that often man has become war driven. Not for survival but as a status or a way of measurement so to speak. Really enjoyed this piece! Greetings and blessings,
R
