to be heard

i cannot be who i am

not because i am not empowered

but because i lost myself in the sea

 

i have lost who i am

what i have done

what i have become

where am i

 

drowning in the tumultuous waves

body limp and unable to breath

i cannot cry out

i cannot scream

 

i hear a voice call me up

out of the waves

i have already drowned

but His voice calls to me

 

i am drawn into the light

i rise above the waves

i am given new life

 

i know who i am

only one person needs to hear me

and He already has
