My Mystery

Silent nights and dark moments,
Scary paths, and lonely evenings,
Just enough for a soul is torment/

I dream of a day when I'll wake up to a delightful place up and above my mistakes, for I labor for freedom, but my freedom isn't free/
Turn on the lights, draw my flaws behind the world's curtains, and look upon my closest /

Does it ends when it begins or closes when it opens?
In fair flavor, breaks and waits were my days, yet my face fades nay/

And what of love, does it understand the pleasure of giving no chance?
I open my eyes to the sight of my adversaries; in their hearts are the list of my cries/
Peace might be a gentle rain, but sadness was the breakfast of my existence/
 At this last moment, my mystery sits in glory.
