A blank slate

So much to await
A chance to renew

A beginning for you

For others as well

New stories to tell

Fresh pages to write

All seeking the light

You might hope to find

Or be left behind

While others all seem

To have found the scheme

Their lives look bright

As if they’ve got it right

But inside they might too

Feel the same as you

You say you’re aware
That your mind is fair

Yet still you believe

You cannot achieve

Truth hides away

Some stars will not stay

There’s darkness before

And friends at the door

Their words make you grow
Their light helps you glow

Though shadows consume

They help you resume

Seasons change
You feel strange
You still don’t know the deal
Still don’t know how to feel

You’re locked behind bars
Scratching at old scars
Changing schools and sections
Facing others reflections

The words that I write

May seem small in your light

But I share them with you

‘Cause you might’ve felt them too <33
