Learn To Fly

Read authors note.

Yesterday is a shadow
Slowly fading to grey
Let time comfort
Take this pain away
Fighting for something
That could be way more
Hope is calling me
Waiting for it's chance to explore
Maybe in sickness
The thought of decay
Won't sound so perfect
Just fade away
~*~
Hiding the shades
That line my brow
Tempting fate
Enduring what I've found
Truth is nothing
Painful abyss
Hiding away
Until we conquer it.
~*~
A lesson mistaken
Best saved for the grave
Honesty saved you
But stole me away
What if I had done
The same as you
Learn to forgive,
Would that be the game?
Or would you simply
Stand up and walk away?
~*~

Hope is calling me

Just fade away

I really loved reading this, and connecting to it. The emotions are so strong and well spoken. I especially like the last note in the end with the quote.
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
