Shining like a brilliant moon,
knowing it will be over soon,
wishing to be held tight,
shivering alone through the night,

pushed and shoved by those loved,
mentally beaten, a broken dove,
self blame filters in,
life’s fault, own sin.

hoping for a way out,
hating self, worthless doubt,
picking choosing, always wrong,
a new instrument, same song.

possible hope in the flame,
changing tune, brand new game.
Planning this time for some gain,
stepping in from the rain.
