Light

I sit and watch the sun come up, with its interplanetary dust Through tired eyes i’m no longer just The events that have recently passed Will leave their marks, I know will last Once a pure soul with white light ahead Now bound for darkness my soul’s nearly dead I’m reminded of that day by every single light There pulsing, pushing halogenated fright The flash of blue and red, freedom they say But that day, never forget the way they beat me as I lay In that moment I swore to sanity, the light to keep me sane Trapped yet free I survive through the pain Who knows if the light will find me at the end Have passage through the holy gates or be left to descend Into a place that reminds me of my mind I see through broken tired eyes What lies ahead of me, what I will find For reason unknown even to me I sometimes find myself upon my knees Praying for the strength to carry on As all I want is to be free with the power, simple to appease It’s for these reasons that I look for the light To help guide me and find the fight Of redeeming myself so on that day I will be pure, light hearted and so I can say The light I prayed for The light I hoped for That brilliant light
