Tonight
December 3, 2019
Tonight
You have scars,
But everyone has them too.
If you need to talk,
I am here for you.
I know things seem bad in the dark.
But you don’t need to start a spark.
Because…
The best things are found at night.
Sometimes it’s better in the dark than the light.
Don’t light a candle,
For your heart is just as bright.
Run free with the stars
Tonight.
[Tonight.]
Don’t run from before,
Tomorrow’s a chance to start over.
[You can start over.]
If you sink, climb higher.
Don’t stay frozen, light a fire.
Because…
The best things are found at night.
Sometimes it’s better in the shadows then the light.
Don’t light a candle,
For your heart is just as bright.
Run free with the stars
Tonight.
[tonight.]
Tonight.

My mom asked me to write about a candle. It made me think of the light inside of me.
