BREAKING DOWN AND BUILDING ANEW

fight the pain in my eyes
back up and take flight
escape the world that i know
and enter into complete isolation
break down myself one cell at a time
and keep myself in the void
silence surrounds me now
through it all has been the voice of God
Who has all this time been speaking to me
but through my chaos, i have not heard Him
and in this silence i can now finally hear Him
and finally i can find some rest and peace
and slowly rebuild a new me
