★summertime★

city lights
my heart ignites
the fire burning all my fear
oh glory now the path comes near

i see the next turn and twist
that were hidden underneath the mist
stopping the thoughts in my head
trapping me all day in bed

i never would have hoped to see
the both, my past and present me
sending me forward to new horizons
letting me leave behind my vices

i'm begining to see anew
the aspects of what i've been through
no excuses, no deeds,
no more darkness, no more "needs"

i want to focus on what i want
and what i wish for is a confidant
someone to trust with my dark sentiment
finally guiding me toward my betterment

where i stand is where i fall
forever i will recall
the memories of who i've been
the things i've done crawling under my skin

i say to myself
do what you can
without hope, without witness, without reward
don't greet others with your tongue sharp as a sword

goodness is not goodness that seeks advantage
and life's not something you can't manage
believe in yourself even when nobody does
no one's always gonna be there for a "us"

stop your crying, helpless feeling
dry your eyes and start believing
you can create a world of your own
so go up and claim your rightful throne

something positive (and something that mostly rhymes) for a change :)
there are good days, there are bad days
but through it all, there is hope
and even if there isn't, there will be.
find your hope.
