Asking, seeking, looking, knocking
Rising, plodding, stepping, walking
Holding hopes and crying tears
Keeping dreams and having fears
Rising up to step once more
Asking for an open door
Doubting, lacking, missing, stalling
Failing, sinking, losing, falling,
Taking hits and ending dreams
Dropping hopes and tearing seams
Failing every time I try
Doubting if I’ll ever fly
Finding, staying, being, knowing,
Reaching, healing, loving, growing
Gaining trust and forging ties
Healing wounds and changing lies
Reaching for a better place
Finding safety, peace, and grace
