You might think
Light fights off the shadows
But it only conceals them
It might appear
That fire kills and destroys
But it gives warmth
You might fear
A place that isn’t heaven
But it is just a place
For people too hurt to love
You might assume
Your actions speak louder than words
But your words could change a world
You might wish
That everything is fine
While your world crumbles around you
But you have to love what is with you
