As I walk through the murky darkness of life
Shadows of doubt consume my thoughts that dim my light
At times I feel lonely and lost with no progress to be shown
Watching everything crumble around me as I stand alone
These shadows of doubt devour me trying to blacken my heart
Beating slower and slower until I start to fall apart
But I go on as my will does not let me quit
As long as my heart still beats and my soul is still lit
My dreams give me clues to what my heart and soul are trying to say
So I listen close and pay attention to turn this darkness into day
The pieces of my dreams puzzle fall onto the canvas of my life
Revealing with time my path guided by my internal light
Life is now pulsating in me with my heart shining like the brightest star
I can feel and taste it with my whole being I know I have come so far
The universe holds many paths that only my heart is the wisest to choose
So I take destiny by the hand and the shadows of doubt forever I lose
I really related to this one. Must be something going around if you are writing this from current feelings. There seem to be waves we roll through. The doubts squirrel in. The waves wash over. When they recede, the sands are peppered with shiny emeralds and rubies… It’s a lovely cycle, isn’t it!?
