Have I become
An empty dream
A stolen chance
Slipped through the seam
That wishing star
Lost to afar
The razor blade
That left a scar
Do I begin
Where hope ends
The trickling streams
Of floating dreams
The chances missed
And lost at sea
The crumbling pieces
Of a broken me
Sign me up
Jump and prance
Glistening hope
An extra chance
Like a vine
Full of growth
It's a journey
For us both
Set your goals
Be your best
I'll always help
With the rest

Have I become
An empty dream
A stolen chance
Slipped through the seam
That wishing star
Lost to afar
The razor blade
That left a scar
Do I begin
Where hope ends
The trickling streams
Of floating dreams
The chances missed
And lost at sea
The crumbling pieces
Of a broken me
Fun time
Took a ride
Took a stance
Sang and danced
Foolish pride
Couldn't hide
What's inside
Need a guide
Broken glance
Found romance
Head in trance
Love by chance
I know you struggle
With how you feel
With what to do
When time gets real
But let your heart
Be your guide
Never try to hide
What's inside
Look towards your gut
To find what is real
What helps you be you
What lets you heel
Uneasy beats
Stacked on a rhyme
Twisting through loops
Pulling through time
Dark caveats
Holding you down
Lose your footsteps
To finally be found
Remember the words
Once swallowed in fear
Use them to steer you
To make things more clear
I want to know your world
And understand
I want to hear it all
Come take my hand
I want to free your spirit
That's shackled in chains
I want to see the you
That hides deep in your brain
I want to give you more
And make you feel whole
I want to be a part
Of your beautiful soul
Sharp shards
Of ticking time
Dripping down
The crooked line
Sideyed glance
You missed the ghost
Show me what
You want the most
Get in line
And say your prayer
Life's a short line
At the fair
Catch your chances
As they fly
Or your dreams
Might pass you by

Labored breaths
I'm trying to breath
It seems as though these
Thoughts won't leave
Hanging on to callused scars
Looking onward to the stars
Hold my breath one more time
Keep pushing towards the line
Live your life, be true to you
There's not much else
That you can do
Shadowed illusions
Of what you find true
Grow in the dark
Then chase after you
Sinking their teeth in
Gnawing to bone
They want you to think
That you're all alone
Stand your ground
You're more than you know
Don't get dragged in
By the undertow

@DechoLee Magnificent
You aren't alone
I'm here for you
These past years
May have left you blue
Come into me
In your darkest night
I'll be your guide
To get you through the night
You aren't alone
Reach out
And I'll show you
So much you don't know
About you
It scares me that
Something as empty
As loneliness
Can fill a soul
So completely
That the darkness
Of that pain
Can eclipses the light
That is life
I hope
I can find the strength
To reach into someone else's darkness
And show them
They aren't as alone
As they feel
