The Light

There is a light that hides inside
Every sould I've ever known
For some the surface is not so far
But others know not what's there
It is forced to live the dark caves
Cowering away from solid hearts
The glimmer that lies there in
Seemingly small and rarely seen
It wishes to scratch the surface
Breaking through it's barred in doors
Though it tries it is put away
Forced to cower further down
Most forget the light is there
Those who know prefer the dark
Only when the light is allowed
Can it bring warmth and glow
Happiness more than can be known
But one must first find their courage
For to find the light you must dig
Deep inside yourself to where it hides
And there's nothing scarier than ones own soul

My Advice

you glance at the life that goes on below
but it seems empty, lost, and alone
inside you feel like the crying window
rain streakin cheeks and cold
the people talk about how you cry
they have no idea what its like
the bricks that lie on the inside
the hurt that you can't hide
only you know what it is
what it is to be thrown down
trampled and torn in pieces
your heart knows not what to do
inside you don't know how to tell
and the weight you feel there
is the only reason you know you're alive
with no pain you'd feel no soul

but that doesn't mean it's ok
no one should ever have to feel that way
lift up, be glad for you are beautiful
know that there is light even where you are
darkness can only last until you light a candle
so let yourself shine and forget the past
don't listen to them they don't know
it hurts to be hurt but it feels great to be free
don't worry about them it's there mistake
let them ruin there lives it's not your call
but be good and wise and live your life
for tomorrow you will be glad you took my advice
to be the best you and forget all the robbers of light

The Wait

I've been waiting
standing here in the rain pour
thinking about what we were
wondering when I will see you
but the future fogs up there
life is never whats expected
so I keep waiting
wishing and holding
for what seems like forever
someday is too far away
I seem to miss your face
and the smile that played there
but I'm still waiting
I'm not sure what I want
or how this life will work out
but I know you are there
and I am still standing here
who knew it would be so distant
and waiting is so hard
I keep leaning on my heart
but without you it's empty
I know you're there somewhere
but somewhere just seems like no where
why does time seem so long
when you are waiting
