ISOLATION
for many the world is black and white
to others, shades of gray
I'm just seeking a form of relief
some light to carry this darkness away
when life seems ruled by failure and rejection
feelings get lost or displaced
but pray not you lose your will to discover
some light to carry the darkness away
a voice unheard
a chance untried
a plant which can not blossom dies
it sighs within and no one hears it
a tear ignored
a dream denied
as seeds of doubt root deep inside
and grow until they choke the spirit
it's hard to pretend that the end isn't tempting
relentlessly fermenting the urge to let go
one of my voices whisper things will get better
while the majority tell me they won't
between the sun and shadows we fall
like drifting clouds we pass through days
waiting and hoping that by chance might emerge
some light to carry this darkness away
