Life In the Dark
Shrugs and smiles, tears and hugs.
Erosion of friendship, no doubt.
Through the miles I’ve traveled, I’ve seen only bugs.
They're so lost and won’t get out.
They’ve seen the light so bright and true,
Calling them to be free.
With their cowardly ignorance plainly in view,
They only pretend to see me.
Trembling is I, knowing the facts
Of true potential let to be seen.
My kindness is rejected without questions asked
While silently I scream.
Scream for that they know what to do,
Yet are too weak to accomplish
To leave their lives to comfortable, yet blue.
For them, this is my wish.
To go out and boldly stand tall with loving pride
Taking in all the wonders and actual dreams.
So there will be no reason to cover, or to hide.
Just erasing everyone’s silent screams
