Drawing Strength From a Star

in a world so dark and full of pain
and every reason to be insane
within the darkness shining bright
without a reason to see the light

seeing the world as a better place
spreading love with a warm embrace
while fighting demons and kicking ghost
a vision that is lost on most

a simple thought for all to think
a simple vision for us to see
an inspiration for all of whom
fight the dark, the dread and doom

when the universe turns and the power shifts
and this life has taken all there is
with a hug to give and an ear to lend
a special person i call my friend

a connection felt into the soul
a forgotten place I used to know
where my smile has gone to try to hide
you look in me and see my light

you make me see that I can be
full of love AND misery
that its ok to feel the pain
and sometimes fine to be insane

my gratitude I send to you
for being here to help me through
knowing you don't want the praise
it's offered to you all the same
