Hope Two

I had such high hopes that you were a breath of fresh air

...when you were really a cloud of smoke. 

Forgotten

You treat forgetfulness as though it is worth of an "I'm sorry"...

I dared.

In the darkness, I dared to believe in the light.
In the pain, I dared to believe in laughter.
In the sorrow, I dared to believe in joy.
In the hunger, I dared to believe in the feast.
In the danger, I dared to believe in a refuge.
In the night, I dared to believe in the dawn.

I dared.
I dared to believe.

There is something

There is something warm about you.
There is something that feels like Home about you.
There is something dear and genuine about your heart. 

There is something.

to stand in the Light

I never knew the reality of becoming a shadow of one's self.
Until then, it happened to me. 
And the only way to break the dance with one's shadow...

...is to stand in the Light.

Why?

I left because I am worth it. 

I Am Still Me

There were pieces of me that were slipping away. 
I could not grasp them because of fear.
I thought I had lost myself.

But you, you brought me back to life again. 
I am finding me. I am finding who I am.
Because I am still here. 

And I am still me.
