Guiding Light
A lifetime full of sorrow-
a past full of regret.
How can one see the light?-
in a world this dark.
So many try to shine-
in a world oh so dark.
We look for answers, truth, meaning-
but all we find in this place are lies.
So as I stand here on this cold sad night-
I cannot help but to wonder to myself.
Where is our guiding light?
