In The Dark

If I had my own light...
Who knows how far I could see,
With my path completely illuminated
I might see beyond... me...

If I had my own light...
Would I be able to find the spark
Leading me out of this mental maze;
Guiding me through the dark.

If I had my own light...
In control of my own design;
Inner darkness could never bring me down,
Allowing me to shine.

If I had my own light...
But, I don’t have my own light,
Only the reflection from those around me
Blinding me from my own insight.
