Hope Within the Night Sky

when i decided to give up

Down on earth, I'm treading on water
I'm drowned by deceit
I'm suffocated by sympathy
Far too often i find myself standing alone
With no one but the hate holding my hand
It's gripping too tightly
And it's breaking holes in my bones


The dreams that I have constructed hold no illumination
This life I lead is not for me
One day, shadows will no longer be my only company
Nor will I be misguided by the shimmers of lies
I've had the gift of sight forced upon me

The clouds have cured me of my misperceptions
When they once sprinkled beautiful illusions into my eyes
As darkness blends with the light
I can spy the twinkle of the stars
Even from the ground, the world is suddenly a beautiful sight

I smile in the silence of my solitude
As I throw false hopes to the wind
Because I know the sky is never ending
And another star will soon glisten on my horizons
Replacing those that have burnt out

The tree branches can't reach to the heavens
But I know how far my palms can extend
Once I sprout my wings, all I need to do is learn to fly
And then maybe I can return a sparkle to my eyes

That was beautiful. Though I think it's more when you decided not to give up. =)
