Light
Don’t ignite
Shine from the depths of your soul
Don’t surrender control
Let
Others forget
Who you once used to be
Set yourself free
Dance
Don’t take the chance
Time doesn’t slow down
Live your life now
Leap
Over the heap
Of pain, regret, and hate
It’s never too late
Run
Into the sun
Where your dreams burn
And peace returns.
