Press play before reading.
Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
Remember me
For I've been trapped in a dark place
Beyond painful thoughts
And loves many war crimes
But still,
I'll rise and begin to climb
I'll climb higher to a new place
Through this burning fire and melting ice
Past my old pain
Whatever comes
Whatever happens
Right past all the friendly liars
Whatever transpires
I'll say my faithful goodbyes
To all my worldly deniers
For I've heard so many sad things
And sung drunk
And danced alone
To some famous love songs
Filled with my heart with sorrow and gin
Until it nearly broke
And relived so many wrongs
Which echo and sing
Deep inside as I wander
And think
Throughout this grey swirling smoke
My old friend
Mother Depression
Shows me those painful signs
Still lingering within my mind
All the time
Signs of my once-lived life's
True reflections
But I'll survive
And I'll rise
Even though
I may feel down
For I've acted out my life
On so many big stages
Throughout its crazy
Life-changing ages
But I'll grow back
To how I used to be
To be brave enough
To face the New World
And whoever
I'll see
I might still feel trapped
In that dark place
Beyond anyone's thoughts
And crimes
But still,
I'll rise
And begin to climb
For when this grey mist
Finally lifts
I know I'll still be remembered
As one of life's
Twenty-seven
Priceless Gifts
Just this time around
I'll be climbing higher
Climbing higher
To reach new places
Hidden in time
Where I can unashamedly
Stand proud and recall
A previous lifetime
That was once all mine
Before I go on to an
Original place
Where I'll be free
Wherever I look
As far
As the eye can see
Just remember me
For I'll soon be better
No longer hiding
But just singing
A new melody
This is my heart's love song
And glory
As I'm now free
To tell one of my life's
Many stories
One where I'll sing
Endlessly
When I enter that new day
Spent
No longer crying
You wait
It's my life's only decree
For I'm now rising
Higher
I might have been
Once trapped
In crazy drug-fueled
Places
But still,
I'll rise above all crimes
Just you wait and see
For there's a new life
That's waiting
Just for me
In here
Now I've accepted
I'm just another soul
Living in the hidden realms
And grey swirling smoke
Of The Great In-Between

Ask
My beloved mother was psychic, so now I'm just another channeller
Hearing and writing about strange and familiar voices
Wearing my ancestor's mask
