 Penciled Thoughts

Shades


I sit here destitute
Lost within a dream.
My lies have caught up with me
Followed by those screams.

Why must they be constant
Constant day and night.
Make it hard to separate
The shades of wrong and right.
.
The place inside my mind
A place in which I hide.
Exposed by the sunshine
Reveals my every try.

The sadness that I feel
Hammers in my brain.
Beating me to a pulp
All my will is drained.

Why can't I find the way
Out of this tangled mess?
I know this can't go on
I'm failing the greatest test.

Help me take hold
Of all that is at peace.
Instead of holding it inside
Help me find release.

The echoes of what I say
Bounces off the wall.
I find the things that I think
Are not real at all.

It comes as no surprise
It's all in shades of gray.
I'm lost within the darkness
I'm lost can't find my way.
 
You came to brighten up my day
Because you are the light.
You take my hand so tenderly
You lead me from this night.

You fill my grays with color
Help me find release.
You give me peace of mind
I'll finally sleep in peace.

One reason that I love you
You give me a helping hand.
You lift me up give me a smile
You show you understand.
