Rising

The wind was dry,

I gave out a cry.

The raindrops fell,

Into the mouths of hell.

I cried for help,

I cried for help, By giving out a yelp.

Everybody heard,

Everybody heard, But they passed unheard

I reached out high,

I reached out high, As I aimed for the sky.

I started to climb,

I started to climb, But I was left behind.

They kicked me down,

With a dismal frown.

I felt like I lost,

I felt like I lost, And I was paying the cost.

I gazed up and something shined,

Everybody else groaned and whined.

You took my hand and lifted me up,

And in my heart my love rose up
