Shine Through

What are these points i write about
Where does this all go
Finding words to feelings is a challenge
Blank pages i have gazed apon
Destructive paths all carved by me
A shape lost and unaware
What do these eyes see through coke colored bottles
Blurry and faded is thee past
Present corroded by fear
Take into consideration my journey thus far
An excuse to not trust not open up not talk about all i wish to be
So discouraged so disheartened
Faced with consequences i have manifested
The world my enemy society my dagger
But does that knife need to cut so deep
Do i need to move forward with all this regret
When life has blessed me with all i need
To be rich they say you need to be a millionaire
But a million regrets always adds up to one cent
The sense that you can find true happiness with what you have now
You see the sky may not always be blue
But you can always let your sun shine. Shine through
Even on the darkest days there is always light you just need to see it for yourself
And that my friends is what this man before you is trying to do
See past my darkness to a light that always shines bright for me in some way shape or form.
