You wear it like an old black cloak
It smothers the light within.
Wherever you go, it's always there
Keeping out the good people bring.
However your feeling it weighs you down,
Heavily present thick fog makes it hard to breathe
Hard to talk and impossible to leave behind!
It wasn't always this way,
Though too long has passed now
It's difficult to remember a time before.
Before the burden of it all.
However, it has been different once
It will be again, Just have faith.
Believe in your inner lights ability to shine.
Outshine the fear,
Leave behind the self doubt,
Take off the old cloak
It never served you any good.
Speak to anyone who'll listen.
Forget the fog, don't let it hold you back now
You have come so far, don't stop... don't stop now!
