May Your Light Stay Yours

Whether you’re wrong or right,
You’re strong, and still you fight.
Don’t let the world around you
Take away your light.

There’s a voice within my mind
That whispers, “You are kind.”
I pause to listen to my breath,
And it’s you I always find.

I sense that some around you
Hold thoughts their smiles disguise.
But if I tell you what I feel,
I’m the devil in your eyes.

Then let me be a devil still,
I care for you, and always will.
Remember that you’re amazing,
And you have always been.

You’ve chosen to trust in yourself
And the one you hold so dear,
While I’m another soul you keep
Within your heart, but not as near.

I’m hurting, honestly,
Through every night and day.
I’m not as well as I may seem,
But this is the price I pay.

My words may not hold the weight
They carried in the past.
And though my heart may not be strong,
My love has been here all along.

You’re an angel destined to fly,
With a soul that could never lie.
You’re full of love, through joy and pain,
And human too, with a beautiful name.

Be happy as you are now;
Be free, as you’re trying to be.
And find a smile along the way,
A joy no one can take away.
