Bump guys.
I don’t think I ever posted some of my poetry here….I think it has been posted anywhere BUT the CR.
I was writing this for the Lipa contest put I didn’t make the deadline 🙁 Here it is:
from the battle
I’m just so weary
here’s a paper
on it got all my dreams
how I wanted to be right
how I wanted to win this fight
how I wanted to uphold hashem’s glory
I’m dreaming again
It’s a “what if” game
how should I live
things that I can’t explain
When the lights go out at night
I’m left alone with the monsters I fight
and I feel so weak, lost, and lonely
CHORUS:
you take my hand and show me in an instant
how it is that I’m a daughter to you
and what it means to be a jew
and you take me hand and banish the distance
it’s now so vivid and clear
that I’m standing right next to you
I close my eyes
wishing it would all melt away
keeping only the good
that from the battle I have gained
push it all into his arms
and i know he wont be alarmed
as I turn my back, walking away calmly
Foot after foot
I keep walking
I get up again and again
and I keep singing
I’ll yell out hashem’s name
I just want to connect
and burn the distance away
CHORUS:
you take my hand and show me in an instant
how it is that I’m a daughter to you
and what it means to be a jew
and you take me hand and banish the distance
it’s now so vivid and clear
that I’m standing right next to you
If “if” is what you wanted
it would be reality
the only thing that in exsistense
is me
CHORUS:
you take my hand and show me in an instant
how it is that I’m a daughter to you
and what it means to be a jew
and you take me hand and banish the distance
it’s now so vivid and clear
that I’m standing right next to you
