These Lights

All i see in front of me are lights
In them i see all of my life's fights

They help me see the light
In the darkest of nights
They let me wander off
to new depths and to new heights

I feel a connection with them
they just call me and i come
When i stare into them
I feel both alive and numb

They make me smile
They make me sad
They tell me what is good
They tell me what is bad

They show me what it is
They show me what it can be
Even when i am bound by time
But of time, my mind is free

They help me remember my friends
They help me forget my foes
They are like a kind god
They take away my woes

They are the only ones
To whom i have told my secrets
everyone may know my happiness
But only they know my regrets

My Body And My Mind

My body wants to rest
My mind wants to run
I ask you God, merciful God
To help me choose one

I have been torn apart
By two enemy forces
I keep going in the wrong lane
And to go right, no body forces

I am lacking direction
I am lacking true courage
I am full of self doubt
I think I am not of my age

This indecision, this carelessness
Is taking its toll on my sanity
All it will take is a gentle nudge
To push me to the dark insanity

I don't understand Why one
does not play well with the other
Why do they ask me to choose
I always feel like their mother

It's my responsibility
To take care of both
I cannot favor one over another
I took a sacred oath

So as I close my eyes
And join my hand in front of you
All I ask is to help me
Keep a balance between these two
