Take off my shield

Carry my sword

I won't need it anymore

It's over. These shields, the ones I've used to 'protect' myself are now unneeded. These shields of ice that isolated me from the others. I can take them off now. Let them shatter like the fragile pieces of glass that they really are. And that sword. The one that kept everyone on cat's feet around me. It too is no longer needed. The daggers of my eyes will wound no more.

Find me a sky

Give me my wings

Frozen and broken but free

The sky stretches out before me, the great expanse of blue that is life. The one that was closed to me. But now it is mine once more. But I need my wings back. The one's that were plucked from my back and frozen in time, waiting. Waiting for when I would need them again. Need them to fly. To sore through the skies chasing my dreams.

Tell them I'm alright

I'm coming home

Tell them I'm alright

I am alone

Press enter. Send the message. Tell them I'm alright. Physically and mentally. I'm coming back to them. Yes, I'll live. But I feel so alone. Wait till I see them again. Till I see him.

This war is over

I'm coming home

This war is over. Not just the physical one, but the one inside of me as well. Without my shields he is free to come in. And I shall welcome him gladly. Warmly, as he deserves. He is home. And that's where I'm going.

Take off my shame

Bury is low

I won't need it anymore

This shame that I carry. Bury it low. Under those better emotions. The ones I haven't felt in a long time. Friendship, happiness, love. Especially love. Yes smother the shame with better things. I don't need it anymore.

Find me the sun

Give me it whole

Melt all the chains in my soul

Find me the sun. The one that shines from his eyes with warm violet light. Give me it whole. The whole sun to warm my heart. Let it's heat melt the chains in my soul. The chains used to constrict my emotions, the ones that held me in place. Kept me 'perfect'.

Tell them I'm alright

I'm coming home

Tell them I'm alright

I am alone

Tell them I'm alright. I shall return. I have survived and overcome. In more ways than one. They are the ones I return for. My friends. Without them I am alone.

Take off my pain

Carry me slow

I won't fight here anymore

Take off this pain. The pain in my heart. In my soul. The pain of death. Of war. Carry me slowly. Carefully. For I am more fragile now than I have ever been. Like a soft butterfly just emerged from its cocoon, I am vulnerable. I won't fight. Not here. Not anywhere.

Tell them I'm alright

I'm coming home

Tell them I'm alright

I am alone

This war is over

I'm coming home

Tell them I'm alright. I'm coming home. I don't want to be alone. The war is over. The time fore loneliness is gone. I'm going home.

I open the door and four faces look up at me. I seek one out immediately. The one with the violet sunshine eyes. He stands and approaches me with so many emotions in his eyes and his arms spread wide for me. I smile softly and move towards his welcoming arms. We embrace each other. Finally. The love that was always there, but unrequited breaks forth. Under the onslaught everything else fades away. The shields. The shame. The pain. All that is left is the love.

The fabric beneath my cheek is damp. All these emotions are crashing over me. I am crying on his shoulder. I am tired. So tired. But it's alright. The war is over. And I am home. Surrounded by warmth, friendship, and love. I am no longer alone. Contented I fall asleep in my love's tender embrace.
