Gentle reflections from your eyes penetrate the darkest corners of my heart,
I've never felt this way before.
My blank stare drags on for days and days until I fall apart,
My empty life begs for something more.
My life’s purpose is hidden well, beneath obstacles and all but the truth,
I'm naive and content with settling for less.
Its traveled so fast and out of control, I can no longer turn back and catch sight of my youth.
Too blind to ever be truly blessed.
I feel someone or something calling, guiding me to my destination of success,
Ill never make it at this perilous rate.
If I stand proud and by my faith, no-one will think twice to second guess,
Its time to decide my fate.
Take control of what you can achieve, is the voice that speaks loud and clear.
Its the path that is chosen for you.
Grab ahold of your hopes and aspirations, never let go and have no fear.
Its simply the right thing to do.
Now go and tell others, let them know they all have a purpose in this life,
At first they may save face.
But as they struggle on and begin to see the feeling of loss coupled with strife,
It will be easier to guide them to my grace.
