Step out of the shadows, feel the
burning light—
Let yourself become a child,
exposed and defenseless—
Yearn for greatness through
watered eyes.
Joy, evasive, is always on the
horizon,
Happiness mocks you, above your
reach.
This is your life, without hope
or direction—
Years pass and distance separates
your silly dreams,
A child forever, forced to become
an adult.
So rapid you age, no time to tie
the knot,
Strangers are growing far apart.
A bitterness is left behind with
each heartbreak
Anger that feeds your ambition,
Leaves you feeling empty inside
Step out of the shadows, feel the
burn against your skin,
Cast aside the cloak that keeps
you numb
And curse and scream,
Lash out and release the hate,
Break everything not yet broken—
Forget the words not yet been spoken.
