Candle In the Darkness

by myshiningstar14   Mar 20, 2006


Surrounded by the dim faces,
stuck in a crowd all alone.
Setting the pace,
and feeling like stone.

Everyone's the same,
yet I stick out like a thorn.
Still no one seems to care.

They don't know my pain,
or that I'm torn and mourn
at the thought of a love so rare.

I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please notice me?
I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please let me shine?
I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please love me?
I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please stop this rhyme?

Hidden beneath them,
their ways resounding in my head,
Oh the ways of men.
How it feels like lead.

They ignore me
yet they try to make me like them.
Still they won't see
I will never be one of them.

I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please notice me?
I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please let me shine?
I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please love me?
I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please stop this rhyme?

Shadows lurking the streets,
drawing further frome me.
With no one to meet
I cry-out and forever hope that they will see:

I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please notice me?
I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please let me shine?
I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please love me?
I'm a candle in the darkness
Won't you please stop this rhyme?

**this is just how i feel most of the time...I stick out like a thorn but they ignore me. I often feel, like I am a candle in this darkened world..so bold yet so unoticed....enjoy**

    A rare effort on actual form and style..... A for effort there

    you spoke of your feelings of rejection by this world.. and unfortuantly that's the way it is sometimes... i feel it everyday, and just a couple days ago my heart was broken by someone i cared for for like the thousandeth time.... now if you could speak of the reasons why, and the judgment's that people make... now that would be a a amazing read... dont get me wrong this is honest and amazing too... it's just that it's easier for you to write about, because what you are writing about is how you feel... and your feelings are the easiest things to pin piont... but to try and pin piont the feelings in a nother is the hardest thing to do.... and i would love to see a poem from you that center's around that concept..... in anyway... you have major talent my friend...
