I Hope For Change

Once I knew the way to get back home, Somewhere to feel safe and not so alone. The path changed and I lost my way, I hope to find my way back today. I close my eyes and remember what’s true, I’m not quite certain if I ever knew. A tear comes to my eye as I begin to cry, Time marches on and the day goes by. Dreams fill the empty skies. Smiles await you as you rise. Destiny stands and still awaits, I feel I’m drowning in my fate. I look to the star for a way out, I want to understand what life’s about. Still they shine no matter what I do, Journeys through darkness I’ve been through. I wake as the sun kisses the dawn, I view the wreckage so much is gone. I hope and pray it will be better today, To keep the darkness and fear at bay. My mind eases and I feel calm, I never meant to cause alarm. I see what’s in my heart it is good, I hope for change if it only could.
