She’s happy She’s lonely No, she’s in between She’s a mess, Not the beautiful kind. Not the thing that sparkles She’s given up No, just almost. She’s broken things She’s a whole lot of every pieces. She tried to pieced it back, She can’t. Because she just can’t. But she aspires. She’s looking up, above. Always waiting. She’s got a Savior. She’s one of the few who believed. One day, she’ll shine, And she’ll be one of the brightest.

This cloak of self-deception blocked the light So shades of darkness were all I could see. While the radiance of truth shined so bright, Intensity of blackness blinded me. A sorry past saw all future as lies, And faithlessness had closed my every door. While I knew light was just beyond my eyes, My dead soul would not let me see once more. But hope’s the curse of a defiant mind! My need for love begged my heart to let go. Accustomed to the darkness, I was blind, When I looked at my future’s shining glow. Squinting I let my faithful eyes adjust, To happiness beyond me I should trust.
