A Candle

You don't have to feel this no longer.
You can disappear for a while, and come back stronger!
If this version of you serves you no longer,
this weak part of you, you must Conquer.

No one can do the work for you,
They couldn't even help if they saw you,
in moments of your desperation,
or know this great war you've been facing.

The enemy is always called you,
and the person you we're yesterday.
Our castles are built brick by brick;
Through the Winters, and Storms, and with Pain!

IF you get 1% Stronger by tomorrow,
and the same for just 99 more...
In 99 days from tomorrow,
you'll be 100 Percent Stronger than before!

To do this, we first need a Blueprint...
A recipe not for the meek!
To find out how we can get stronger -
We have to find out what's making us weak!

Our enemies power is Invisibility.
They loose it whenever they're seen.
We write out their names on white paper,
then crush them; like bugs under feet!

It's still possible to make changes.
This time's going to pass anyway!
In three months from now you could be powerful...
or regretful - thats your choice to make.

You've been lost in darkness a while now,
and trust me, you're not on your own!
I came here to throw you this Candle...
so light it, and make your way Home.
