One day the smoke clears
The shadows disappear
But as always the darkness re appears
For its never far away
The voices that echo in my head
The judgment I can’t let go
It always follows me like a dog left astray
It dragged me back and pulled me away
From the live i try and live
From the freedom I try and find each and every day
But this hollow grave, this empty thought
I still call it a friend
For it gives me meaning and it gives me light
In the thoughts i never say
Without sadness there is no hope
For in happiness there is no growth
So the struggles and the battles we face
Bring us closer to the truth
Of the child we lost in ourselves when we
Hid our true face
