I'M Reaching
draw me closer to the shining light
I am stuck in a sticky blackened mess
of bitter regrets
you are the hope in my eyes
the warm fire in a far distance
I'm reaching for comfort
I'm reaching for peace
Some strange wind has swept my bearings
And I slip into uncertainty's mire
Mustering in helplessness
I find no glory upon this test
draw me closer to that dimming light
I'm afraid to lose my sight
There is nothing that I can control
but give up my hold
