Reaching toward the sky

Both hands up

Begging for fresh air

Looking down

Do I see what I want to see?

What am I exactly?

What am I searching for?

Invisible flame

Of my heart

Is why I hurt easily

Why I don't forgive

Everyone

I am wanting

You to understand me

To hear me

To want to hear me

I want to be able to

Trust you

Every shrug of the shoulders

Glance in the other direction

The don't know

Don't tell attitude

Shrinks the faith inside me

For you

Invisible flame

Is strong

For one reason

It has eternal structure

Spiritual maturity

And the belief

Of self

Conviction of courage

It will not be staved off

Refuses to burn out

Searching for her future

Even if the present escapes her

Surrounding with every inch of love

Invisible flame

Looks toward the heavens

Let's all pain

Flow out

Takes a deep breath

And faces tomorrow

With a smile
