The Light Within You

The light within you is what they seek,
To blow it off is to lock you away,
The shadows only choose to engulf you,
If you choose to let them stay,
Your sparkle is their target,
It's what gives you your strength,
These snatchers seek to dull it,
So down the alleys of depression, you can be sent,
They will chase you the more you run,
From them there is no escape,
Each scream you let out of your mouth,
Will only cause it to get taped,
Sometimes rebellion isn't the best option,
There's one that can truly save you then,
Is to patiently waiting for the moment,
Protect yourself till then,
Don't push them aside, it won't help,
But don't let them creep inside you either,
Don't cry, don't beg for help,
Don't choose to become the pleader,
Face them as how they come,
Look them straight in the eye,
Your will is the only thing you have,
Let it not shatter till you die,
Don't let your heart drift away,
Don't let your brain tell you it's ended,
It isn't until you choose to not breath again,
Until they laugh at your soul that just accended.
