I am no hero
I reached for you from the inside
Heard your silent screams
That you so preciously kept hidden under a smile behind
Unbearable burden and pain
Leading to your cry for relief
I heard you
I still cry in disbelief
A lifetime of hateful words
Destroying a soul
From the inside out
Instead of protecting and making you whole
Honoring and protecting him
Hiding in his shadow
Burying yourself deeper
Until your life, he could swallow
Beaten inside and out
Battered and bruised
Emersed in darkness
Living a life you hated, being abused
You hung onto that rope
Barely hanging on
Clinging for even a glimmer of hope
To hear the words "I am proud of you, Son"
In saving a life
With all my strength and courage in strife
I gave you everything that I could
To fight and find your will back to life
I thank God that you did and pray that you do
For hope is to be found in you
To finally take that step
It's not too late to come shining through
For you are a star
Let the glow of your heart guide your way
It may only be a glimmer, like a whisper now
Trust that you will grow stronger, day by day
Let your voice be heard
Open your eyes and see the light
Like I found you
Flickering like a candle in the night
I stood between you and the wind
Sheltered you from his storm
Gave you meaning and purpose for life
Tried to keep you sane, tried to keep you warm
I am no hero
You now need to reach from the inside
Find your courage and strength once again
For you are precious, you need no longer hide

Hope is not found in me.
Hope is found in you.
