Bright in the void

A glimmer of hope in darkness

Nights and days are all the same

One particular day should be main

The stars all up in the night

It's hard to know the ones that bright.

People come and people go

I became my biggest foe

Chasing a dream that never wanted me

Wanted by me was to be free.

The higher I climbed, the more distant I grew

The little I had ran and flew

Felt incomplete, so I decided to change

The trait which was needed a bit out of range.

Mediocrity, confusion, pity was my name

Thrown in without armor in this cruel game

The choices I wanted to make

Discarded all for thier sake

Sounds of regret strong in my head

Believing all the lies, I use to be fed

The brightest star of all

somehow wasn’t bright enough for me

Its loss became my fall

Much bigger than I could see.

There was a we and now there’s not

Friendship, an apple bout’ to rot.

Life in shackles, threads I can’t bear

With all my sorrow, a happy face I must wear

Even so torn, all the pain in this world

The bright light still shines deep within in this void.
