I actually spent a lot really thinking of how I wanted this to be. I think this is one of my better ones? It can still use some work, but I'd like to think I did a really good job on this one","content":"\\\u003cslow\\\u003e\n\nI look out... Into the darkness....\n\nI look out, my light burning bright...\n\nIt's fading now, glowing away...\n\nMy hope... My strength... My plight....\n\n\\\u003cfast\\\u003e\n\nLike my trust, like my hope, like my will,\n\nLike the last light of day,\n\nIt's all fading away, as I stare at light\u0026nbsp;\n\nOn this window sill\n\n-- I close my eyes, I transcend,\n\nBecoming this light, I pretend\n\nShimmering away, my tears down I cry\n\nI cry out and ask myself, \"Why!\"\n\nI erupt, I explode, a supernova, I flare out\n\nLetting all of my feelings flow as I look on out,\n\nPretending to be this light, something bright, that I see--\n\nIt's all fading to darkness and misery!\n\nClouded and covered, by others looming still,\n\nDarkness pulsing, through me I feel\n\nI charge on, towards ano-ther sun--\n\nMy final stride has begun!\n\nI can't take this anymore, don't you see?\n\nYour judgments, your hatred, your malice, your spite--\n\nFeeding my misery!\n\nIt's all darkness, all shadows, all that I fear!\n\nHow am I supposed to make it, out here?!\n\nThe shadows swarm in; they close me off!\n\nIt's choking, I'm reaching, but they bring me down!\n\nI'm trying to shine on, my will, my hope, my all!\n\nPlease, won't you see what you're doing?!\n\nBefore I fall?!\n\nIt's fading now, glowing away...\n\nMy hope... My strength... My plight....\n\nShimmering away, my tears down I cry\n\nI cry out and ask myself, \"Why!\"\n\nI charge on, towards ano-ther sun--\n\nMy final stride has begun!\n\nIt's all darkness, all shadows, all that I fear!\n\nHow am I supposed to make it, out here?!\n\nPlease, won't you see what you're doing?!\n\nBefore I fall?!\n\n  \n  \n  \n\n"}
