When the Light Loses It's Gleam

I've always wanted to be a light that shined bright, I've always desired that my light leads someone away from the dark, and I show them the light to my true heart hoping that the people I love don't tear it apart.
Sometimes I often wonder what happens to a light when it loses it's shine I often say to myself will my light be remembered, or will my light fade away into obscurity before it was time these are questions that I send up to God knowing that he'll answer when it is time.
There are a lot of times when my light does it's best thinking in the dark, there are times when darkness guides my light to it's truest gleam and I cry and pray that I do not tear apart my star crossed dreams at their heavenly created seams.
Trying not to get tracked by the brightest of the alluring lights, the flashing bulbs, and all the desires of my undecided heart the only thing that i've ever wanted to do was show the world my art and express to other star trying to find their way like me my heart.
Not wanting to pierce my star and cut off my star's air, scar it and make it bleed, showing my honest pain while on this wicked earth i'm a star with a gleam just trying to find something of worth and remove all the hurt before my star sees the sky when it and it's light finally touches the sky.
