"I'm a match"-Hope


Its a dark dream

huanting my day

staying by my side by night

i still hope for that light 

the one i saw when i saw love

when i saw hope 

know i see broken

ruins

i have stripped myself of my wings

but today i felt a change

before i rest in the slember in the dark

i see a glow in the dark

it creates a halo

that night i rest

then i woke to find 

the glass had a layer of black smoke

disapear 

i turn to see 

they my wings have sprouted

and i scream

i scream with aganoy and anger 

at what the smoke has hid

i scream at the world

my names hope 

i have come back 

its in the soul 

not the cracks of the street 

but the cracks in yourself

the place were you find

insecurity

you find hope

a dream

a shimmer or sparkle

light a match your see a flicker

life on the edge

light up 

light up your soul
