Growth In Despair

During the day i shine bright
A snall flicker I dim down low in the night
In the process of healing
Trying to hold on to what I'm feeling
Captured by a fleshly desire
Left with this slow burning fire
Looking at what I've become
Again left with a mind growing numb
I'm still there 
Finding growth in despair
