The White Light

From a seed, to a schoolgirl, to a graduate, a prostitute

Became a junkie, a mother of a daughter with gratitude

For a mirror that allowed her mother to stare back

In a room starving for light to discern the darker shades, black

Please step in, inhale, and open your eyes

You may turn off the radio wishing you could censor this life

And fast-forward the times, won't let them touch you severely

With this bliss of ignorance dismissed, this life shall not miss her dearly

No, she won't have the luxury...

What's whispered in darkness, should be dragged out in white light

Covering the wrong should but hinder the right

Burn the curtains that sucked out the last breath

Of a girl born so bright she tried to light up the death

Inevitable like the sunset, covering all she'd possessed

Like sunrise, the fall is an all-day process

Destined to destroy a seed bound to shine

But the seed outshone by the black illuminates this rhyme

Written to rip the curtains absorbing the air

Blowing out the candle lit to handle despair

What's whispered in darkness, should be dragged out in white light

Covering the wrong should but hinder the might of right

But for every ray of light there's dark space left closed

In a battle for a breath, who advocates those opposed?

It doesn't make a difference whether you burn out or fade away

When the story's wrapped up in plastic, it's time to call it a day
