Shine a light on my heart <br />For my soul has begun to dim <br />I’m trying to survive <br />Because I’m destined to win <br />Another day lived <br />Is another day lost <br />And I will succeed <br />No matter the cost <br />You tell me to be patient <br />My better days await <br />But how can anyone say that, <br />When only gods knows my faith <br />Throw at me what you will <br />I shall shed no tears <br />My eyes have developed calluses <br />And dried over the years <br />Don’t let your fears <br />Be the voice from which you give me hope <br />Let me live my life <br />And maybe with your fears <br />I shall help you cope <br />Although young <br />My experiences have given me <br />More sense then I get credit for <br />You may frown upon my age, <br />But my intelligence you can’t ignore <br />I’m not asking for you to agree <br />With the choices I have made <br />Nor am I asking you to follow me <br />On the path I have laid <br />I believe if I follow my heart <br />The path ahead will clear <br />When your soul is content <br />There is nothing you should fear <br />In this game of life I play <br />I am bound by no rules <br />The road I travel <br />Is the road I choose.<br /><br />saul haro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-life-82/
