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.
