The Guided Light


Tears fall from the sky, I wonder why, we fail to see the truth in life are we truly blind? 

We will never see never see a better day just looking through dead eyes, lets find a better way and I'm not just talking just to get by,

Pain lies where I've seen the struggle and though I'm doing better I'm no stranger to the trouble, these different people want to burst your bubble, and yet they do it so good you never knew that they do it so subtle, cry out your puddle and they will drown you in your sorrow, they do it to you because they know that the pain is hard to swallow, but after the rain the sun is soon to follow, you want the truth I lend you my eyes, ears, and my faith to borrow, but you rather borrow a piece of steel to steal your next meal, but the next life you may take may be your own that you kill, but I just feel that system is a sick electric chair even though you feel far more ill, reinvent the wheel? no need for that, taking note of the present while looking toward the future is where success is at.
