Alone on My Own

This is me marching into the dark

The only thing I have left is a soft glow of an idea that I strongly believe in

Step by step

Moving blindly forward

Never stopping

Remembering when life was lit for me

I took it for granted

I didn't understand

Now I have to find my own light

Based off of my own hope and desire

Some ideas fail

Some never even grow

I won't let it stop me

Nothing can hold me back

I have my own determination

It can't be stolen

It can't be ruined

It can't be stopped

Laying out in the dark isn't so scary anymore

When I can look up and see the stars spelling out HOPE

Darkness gives me peace

It gives me strength 

It gives me time to think

When my life was lit for me, I could never look up

Fear captured me

Now that the lights have been shut off, I can never look down

My fear left behind its cage

Spontaneity, hope, and determination have taken control
