My Mind

Wind on my mind

Calling me inside

My mind is a river

Of shadows and light

Some days I am breaking

Some days I can fight

Old wounds in the water

New dreams in the sky—

I learn how to carry

The reasons I cry

I rise through the fear

I rise through the storm

My mind—

A mountain I'm climbing alone

My mind—

A place where the lost seeds are sown

My mind—

It breaks... and it heals... in time

And still

I'm learning to call it mine

There's grief in the silence

And light in the fall

There's strength in the moments

I couldn't stand tall

I walk through the memories

That cut me in two—

But somehow the hurting

Is teaching me truth

I breathe through the ache

I open the door

My mind—

A storm that is learning to rest

My mind—

A heart that is trying its best

My mind—

Still broken, still sacred, still mine

And now

I feel it begin to shine

I find... my mind
