From The Ashes Poem by Liam Hughes

From The Ashes



When the road seems to hurt your feet
And you can't relate to the people you meet
And your demons become too hard to defeat
And your secrets shared are not discrete
And in the games you play you can't compete
And your spirit this world begins to deplete
I will arise from the ashes of your life to help
You make it through

When darkness falls and you're in pain
And you're without shelter in the rain
And hurtful thoughts are on your brain
And you lose the ability to take the strain
And all your futile efforts are in vain
And every destructive thought does remain
I will arise from the ashes of your life to help
You make it through

When you're lost and feeling so alone
And your heart is sinking like a stone
And hate seeps its way to the bone
And inside you, the sickness has grown
And chances for redemption have been blown
And loving thoughts are never known
I will arise from the ashes of your life to help
You make it through

When destruction is left in your wake
And you've lost all that was at stake
And the grass is infested by the snake
And you cannot have or eat your cake
And you cannot seem to catch a break
And there's not a single chance to take
I will arise from the ashes of your life to help
You make it through

Delusions may be hard to bare
Round every corner, there may be a scare
The beast may be waiting in its lair
There may be no one who seems to care
There may be no one who wants to share
The world may seem to be unfair
But I will arise from the ashes of your life to help
You make it through
