A shared burden...
By Ashteroth
This once was written for people in particular but now is a general message.
In my darkest hour
I remembered how my soul
was
the prevailing light ablaze
that made smoldering ashes
of life's
obstacles
and kept my love flowing warm
like the blood through
my veins
and how friendship sours
as offenses unfold
but I cherish your life anyway
for this heart never detaches
and always tackles
the reason for such scorn
and the meaning
of our pain
You know you're capable
...not inescapable
this life you choose to lead
it's unmistakable
strength unbreakable
lies not far beneath
but you focus
your persistence
to the path of least resistance
while you're
drifting through existence
tomorrow you are someone else
the
irony in this is
there are many falls and hardships
but none
are quite as complex
as the lies you tell yourself
so
you don't have to -
deal with it -
sick of feeling shit-
people tear you down
treat you like a stupid bitch
whatever
story fits
who you trying to convince
you must strive to rise
-ABOVE ALL OF THIS!
'cause one day you must decide
on a path you know is right
or continue to just hide
in empty
pleasures that won't last
said you don't know what to do
and you hate demands on you
relationships are made of two
make a future - scrap the past
for when your light shines
from the heart
the world around looks bright enough
to see we're diamonds in the rough
and there's beauty in all things
don't stand alone, please don't give up
we get so tired
and corrupt
when it's all been said and done
EVERYONE is worth
something!!!
