Light
Dreaming away the day; watching it fade
just focusing on good, an letting bad slip away
into the subconscious, thoughts of regret
thrown into a vault hidden till death
Memory, oh memory, where did you go?
you slipped away, when I was twelve years old
remembering now nothing from then
Paralyzing the exchanged growth from boy into man
A quest to fix this broken soul
through pain that was unbearable, at twelve years old
breaking free from the deathly chains that hold
regaining belief in free will and self control
looking to live for the day
accepting the painful memories that will not fade
from the darkness only can come an early grave
But with the light, powerful love for life will keep the darkness away
