candles

the brightest candle casts the darkest shadows and burns out twice as fast. why is it that when you give a man good advice, he knows not how to take? but if you give a man poor advice, you receive eternal thanks? if i give you anything, i hope its peace of mind. i know that you will do your thing and that's okay,because i know that it is not mine. the world i see ahead of me, contains the purest light, all of it remains in front, i'm not sure if there's a drop that lays behind. I know one day, i shall return, to that from which i came. but with a better understanding, of this silly game i play. i hope, you see, it's with a heavy heart i leave, but at this point, it's the best path, at least, for me all in all, i chose not make an impact, but rather leave a mark, its for this very reason, i step out of the dark.
