The Light

The Light
Show me the light,
But give me my darkness,
Hold me to the stars,
But I’m consumed in clouds.
Show me who I once was,
To give me hope,
That I can be that again.
Give me a reason,
To look for the light,
To see the shining,
Shining stars.
Give me back,
What I use to be,
To live life,
How it should be.
I know I’m not a kid,
I’m not that kid I once was,
I loved how open I was,
But that was back then.
I’m different now,
Getting older and older,
I wish I was a little kid,
To do things over.
So I can prove,
Prove that I can mature more.
So please show me the light,
Give me my life,
Give me a reason to stay,
Because…
One day…
It’ll be to late…
And you’ll never see the light…
The light…
In my eyes…
