Keep out the light or hold the light inside,
Folded and falling, tethered by a string;
Eyes open, in the darkness, where I hide.
Weather dark, contemplating suicide,
Pull me up and rid my soul of these things;
Keep out the light or hold the light inside.
In my place, my home is where I preside,
To enjoy all of that which the Lord brings;
Eyes open, in the darkness, where I hide.
In the cold the sinful devil replied,
With the song of temptation that he sings;
Keep out the light or the hold the light inside.
Afraid to move, whether in or outside,
Lock the door, ignore the world when it rings;
Eyes open, in the darkness, where I hide.
The light defeats the dark by a landslide.
Two Angels that finally get their wings.
Keep out the light or hold the light inside,
Eyes open, in the darkness, where I hide.

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.
