My Charity in my Life

Life's short, simple yet complex

And the more I reach for the stars

I find that I'm beginning to become perplexed

I've grown into what I thought was the hero of my story into its villain

And as what was sane becomes insane, I see what was light as a deep pool of darkness

Not realizing that it's always been my fault for becoming heartless

Promises made to ghosts once loved but now of the dead 

And like a lost soul I've found that all is gone but a soul to sleep within this hollow bed

Remaining on to what was, to hope to keep what could've been

Love has become the tormentor to my heart while my darkness handles the mind

And I no longer know where this path may lead 

In my day of the darkness, I've grown to see what I once never could see

Still, even now I wonder what needs to be redeemed 

Is it my family, their legacy or is it just an excuse for myself to redeem me

All I know is I can no longer hide from the story God has set in front of my sight

Even if it comes down to either I become the diamond of it all or just another dime
