Words have power
every compliment,
every insult,
words of love or hate
all of them

The path I walk
has many words
many voices
which only I can hear

When I tell people they can shine,
what right do I have?
My light is covered in shadows.
Even Shadows need the light,
but when they flock around it,
I forget what it's like to shine.
I become a Shadow myself,
filled with constant need and hope.

Sometimes I feel like a liar
Like a con man
like a thief.
Can my light possibly reach the Shadows?
Do I even shine at all?
Even when I tell others with great confidence,
that they can, will, or have that light again.
That there is light in everyone..........
Sometimes I wonder if it's even true.

There is a piece of me that burns brightly.
It is a flame of anger and hate.
Letting them rage out of control
could make me shine,
but for all the wrong reasons.
But if I could use that light
to chase away the Shadows within....
Maybe a different light will shine through?
