Beacon


Alley ways 

Miles deep in the Atlantic Ocean

Weary eyes

All dark

 

A smile

Laughter

Both can be dark

 

The fact of the matter is 

You never know what someone is going through 

 

Most cannot fathom 

Einstein's Theory of Relativity 

 

Most cannot see the darkness hiding behind the muscles in a smile 

Or behind the lungs in a hearty laugh 

 

If I could leave the world with one message it would be this:

Be the light in the darkness

Because there's just simply no use

sitting back while pain runs rampant through the world

 

Doing this will in no way wipe the world 

of despondency but 

You could be a single light beam 

that no matter how small

floods light through the depths of one's darkness
