Feeling Confused
As soon as you close your eyes
 A shadow of a hand pulls you into darkness
 The darkness that was once your memories
 The blade of the sword through your heart
 The dark red sight of blood flowing out
 You watch helplessly as the memories replay as you scream
 The sign of weakness within all of those drops of tears
 All the hopes and dreams appear out of the shadows
 Suddenly, the sword cuts through until only ash is left
 Hopes, dreams, and wishes of sparkles in your eyes fade with terror
 Much of the happiness is finally replaced with despair
 Still there is a cold blue fire that remains deep within your heart
 Even though the thought of dropping everything will collapse your already weak body
 You want to reach for the star that is beyond where you stand
 The star that shows who you truly are and who you will become
 Instead your spirit shows the different path that you take than the others
 The path that has unbearable pain and sorrow mixed with the happiness of joy and laughter
 Your heart flows like the slow, calm, relaxing river in the forest
 When decisions are hard, it comes down to your heart to decide
 You are different from the rest of the world and need to believe
 Miracles can let your dreams soar if you believe in them
 As you reach out to reach for that silver star again
 You shatter the glass that held you back because it came from your greatest supporters
