From within

The answers lie just beyond sight
Waiting to see the light
Somewhere out of touch
Takes out of you so much
You know it's there
What it feels to care
To cry
To wonder why
A shadow of light
Seeking to answer the questions right
Pain
Life's little stain
Hope lost hope found
Breath, such a beautiful sound 
I'm still above ground 
Memories, silent echoes of yesterday
Never had much to say
Struggles past, 
Life passes so fast
Dreams, empty echoes of yesterdays fire
Meant to inspire 
Fulfillment of desire 
Life
Strife
Strength from within
Love is never a sin
A hope for tomorrow 
In the land of no sorrow 
Facing the unknown
May silent strength be shown
What it is to be a human being
Life is truly worth seeing
Good, bad,
Even sad
State of mind
No rewind
So easy to be left behind
Courage to go the length 
That takes strength..
Takes heart
Only place to start
