A Glow

There were places I'd go, facing my woe.

I thought I saw something amazing chasing my goal.

Constant strain on my soul.

Contemplate my pain so I know what was gained when I grow.

This game isn't strange when you're trained to change with the flow.

An exchange of days for a show.

Like I'm deranged, in a haze, in a cage about to blow.

What about the doubt that turned your days to snow?

There were many days I would burn out and slow.

Turns out you can't be fake when you glow.

What's faith worth when it takes you from home?

A slave to words that rape you and makes you alone.
