Shine

It’s so hard to feel when you see the world for what it is so much hatred yet you’re a beacon among so many

Every day you try so hard to stay bright and be the light as darkness wraps around you and pull your down you reach out for the light

Hold it tight with all your might

You can almost reach it

You touch it with just your fingertips, so close

Yet you start to drift away.......don't panic just try again

Always fighting the darkness

It’s afraid of you, keep going keep fighting never give up

You are in control

I laugh in its face screaming

YOU! have no hold over me only death has claim over this soul!

THIS IS MY STORY

MY LIFE, MY WAY OF LIVING!

You burn bright so bright for a while the darkness backs away and others see how bright you burn

Brighter than the sun

It warms like love

Like hope it shines into the hearts of the people around you

Keep pushing

Love harder

Go forward it’s your time to shine

You start to cry with the potency of your emotions

It’s ok

Because you’re the light, shine bright

Keep going don't stop

Shine brighter and show them your light.
