Lights
Darkness descends
Lights rise
What have we come to?
Strangers scream
It rips through the silence
That the Night promised
One
It flickers
It's weak and broken
Two
This one is stronger
It cuts through the curtains of layered black
Three
Brighter than the others
But it won't be enough
Get me out of here
Who am I talking to?
Myself I'd hope
That I take the first steps to find my way
Follow the lights you say?
What lights?
Oh
Those before right?
That's only three steps
How will I feel better through that?
I call *******
That's what we all do right?
We want to get better yet we think others need to reach out
Reach out to what?
They cannot see you from where you are
Even if you just try
It'll create a splash and people will reach out
Take the first steps
One
Two
Three
You're not alone anymore
Reach out to them and they'll extend their hands
Pulling you up
Into the world that you've been missing out on
Don't give up
No matter what comes
You're stronger than you think
Alone or together
You can smile again
Never stop pushing for what you want and for a smile that is yours to claim
We all have our shadows but don't let them define you
Fight
