One Way

found a way through the darkness stepping steadily through the light with peace in my heart and serenity in my soul A place where broken hearts are mended hope in the wonders of dreams and fairy tales wishing upon a lonely shooting star Believing in love and longing for perfection My enemies around me showing the deceitfulness of the world tongue held fast speaking the truth that women before me once taught me Following the bad when heart is full of curiosity trampling behind the devils man wishing for love for compassion Now lost without purity in ones heart Only finding hurt a burning pit of fire slowly becoming of thy self Learning that to run this race is to withstand thorough the shadows of one life
