Darkness neverending
You've lost yourself in a life chosen for you
No control
A stolen destiny
Your heart yearns to be compassionate
A deed impossible
So many lives lost
By your hand... by your word
Regret was lost before memory can recall
It is too dangerous an emotion
Anger like a typhoon
Destructive and unpredictable
A tireless storm
So many scars...
Your dreams torment you
Desperate for peace
Though never admitting
Decisions that would haunt any man
Flow easily from your lips
In a room full of people
Ready to die for you at a moments notice
Yet you are so alone... so unknown
Hope for redemption lost
Silent torment never ending
Yet there is something...
Piercing the abyss
A tiny ray of light
Desperate to be seen
How is this possible?
Such a brilliant light buried so deep...
Every so often... a glimpse of your light
Your true self
That you dare not reveal
It is shining... beginning to emerge
Confusion envolopes you
How did this light escape?
Who set you free?
A smile breaks your lips
Yet you do not embrace it
It terrifies you
Happiness... what most strive for
You turn... run from it
A days work still to be done
More decisions to haunt
Another scar to cover
And yet the light does not diminish
Just sits...patiently waiting
For you to remember...to reveal...to acknowledge
Who you really are
Inside who you have been told to be...
I see the light...
Do you?
