Hope
What a life when trapped inside the mind
But a choice I have on the way I paint it
Gray doesn't seem like the right fit
When my surrounding commit
Better, different, brighter color
Yellow will shine inside my mind
Aware to what I am and I hope to become
Keeps me stroking the brush on my gray canvas.
This life, all I have known since birth
challenges me to break, shade a tear
At times it wins but I see clear
No out without in, no sun without dark
No scars without sin, I stay awake in the fire.

"I stay awake in the fire."
Great line, it's the only way to notice which are the non-relevant bits of our lives that are being burned away - and what remains leads us to precious clarity.
