Shine

The darkness that I offer,
Is the light in which you shine,
Free yourself of  burdens,
I will help you make them mine...
Don't kneel because your weak,
Or when convenience is at hand,
Believe the words you speak,
So you are stronger when you stand...
Don't frown upon misfortune,
Like some days may seem in vain,
Because yesterday has taught you,
Everyday can't be the same...
And tomorrow isnt written
So it constantly can change,
Whatever you predicted,
Is convicted in exchange...
So let the darkness bind you,
Like a candle lost at night,
Because once it finally finds you,
You will shine ten times as bright...
