I will rise


I am out of feathers to cover my scars,
So I hide myself in something sheer.
I press against the fractured light
Beguiling me into a world I barely know.
But I cannot see it through teary eyes.
And yet, I feel sunshine kiss my skin.
Through the veil, I listen to your sleepless whispers.
I am waiting for the rain to wash off the past.
I will remember how to rise
Until then I rest in silence.
