Drowning in a sea of voices, how can one rise above?
The mind grows deaf with the sound of screams, how can one hope to hear?

*a hand appears above the voices*

"Take me, and I shall grant you freedom."

You shake your head and sink back down.

"It would be naught but a temporary solution, before the swell of voices rises once more to claim me."

*the hand closes and pulls away*

"Then for now I can offer you no sollace, but each day I shall return and each day my hand shall extend once more."

The voices rise again, the maelstrom captures you once more and you are dragged below.

Drowning in a sea of voices, how can one rise above?
The mind grows deaf with the sound of screams, how can one hope to hear?

"I shall return tomorrow, and I pray you take my hand."
Well, here I am, resubmitting old work for a number of reasons.

Firstly, I'm very much into my writings, be it novels, poems, lyrics etc. and my gallery is almost all cosplay again. This isn't a bad thing per se, but I want some of my literature to fight back!

Secondly, there were a few hidden comments on the old ones which I hate, so they're now gone LOL

Thirdly, I'm in a similar mindset again so it's kind of fitting. But if I do a "Shout It Out" soon, people are going to think me very emo LOL

I read this often ^^ an Inspiration, you are. :3

'Hope and pray that you'll never need me,
But rest assured I will not let you down.
I'll walk beside you but you may not see me,
The strongest among you may not wear a crown.'
