Struggling In The Dark

Have you ever felt as though you were the only one in the dark. That you were the one in the middle of the circle with the blindfold over your eyes, but the crowd around you is so loudly silent you are unsure if you're the only one with the blindfold. Have you ever felt strapped in a straight jacket and dangled high above your dreams. You can see what you want, and where you want to be, but you're stuck. Trapped with your arms behind your back, and all you can do is look while everyone walks past, looks up at you, smiles and gives you that oh so common line "give it time, it'll come." What happens when time runs out and you're still bound to the stake your arms are wrapped around. Have you ever felt as though everyone was speaking in riddles, and though you knew the answer, you couldn't understand the rhyme? It's time to break free of the confusion. Rip the blindfold off, and scream loudly enough to be heard over the silent crowd. It's time you had the rhymes, and it's time the people around you stopped dancing on their toes... you can hear their footsteps loud and clear. Their whisperings are screams in your ears. Confusing you. It's time the many voices became one. Stop dancing in circles around you, because you've learned the steps... join in and shock them into truth. Your trust has been shattered, and you don't know who to lean on, or where to turn... So lean on yourself. As long as you know you are an honest soul, with a good heart, you'll find the company you so desperately seek. The stories playing in your head may come true, and the secrets in your heart may surface... hope is all that is left in this world we live in. It's the only thing you've got... so let your heart hope with all it has left in it. Don't let the confusion drag you into the depths of despair. You're sure to be tied forever in one spot in time if you give up the focus. Turn on the light, even if it's just a whisper of light coming from you... Darkness cannot penetrate even the smallest candle's glimmer... When you realize it doesn't matter who they are or what they do, it'll be your time, and you'll be well on your way. Give up on making passes, give up on half empty glasses, give up on greener grasses. You are enough. You have enough. ...It'll be enough to get through... Just hope, and have faith that one day you will... One day you will be there, dancing in that field of yellow daisies. One day you'll have what your heart wishes for. One day you'll be where you dream of being. All those pictures in your head will be a reality... Give it patience and time, a bit of faith and a dash of hope. Keep your eyes on the yellow brick road. And... One Day... You Will...
