you
hide in the candlelight
Awaiting the chance
To come and show how you feel
but what do you have that
I don't
You show me your tears
you scream and yell
but where does it get you
"Lift your head up my child for I can not bear the assailing pain you feel."
show that you are not scared
so who are you?
make your self known
stand up and be the person you want to be
so that the lingering question dissipates
but never leaves a feeling
so who are you?
Let your light shine where ever you are, be a light to chase away the darkness
SHINE!!!!
