Change
In youth I held a gleaming light
Near my chest, burning bright
Afraid of fear, I held on tight
Assured my life would turn out right
Disbelief crept into my heart
My fingers, they lost, their humble art
Unsure of what to do, or where to start
I turned to her, and she played her part
Bringing back my miserable life
Even though it was consumed by vice
With grace, she stripped away my strife
Ignorant of my insecurity, my hidden knife
Unwilling to form a meaningful connection
I stumbled, and ran for a different direction
Never would I expect to hear a rejection
From the lips which lavished upon me affection
I stand revealed, no need for a shirt.
Groveling in the mud, Why was I curt?
For my actions I reaped bitter hurt
Now my only friend is this reeking dirt
