Awaken from the sound of rain
Feeling the dampness fill the air
Searching the early morning fog for answers
Though never seeing past the mist
 Knowing someday 
the truth will be known
 Like fallen feathers
 drifting though space
Seeking a resting place
Seeking for guidance
Though only finding untruths
Knowing the answers to those 
questions are right in front of your face
Though hidden deep behind a mask 
Knowing that one day you must look past that mask
To uncover what you truly
know is the answer
Though still fearing the truth
Seeking approval from peers
Though knowing that approval
only comes from within
Clinging onto a thread of
a dream
A dream that keeps you alive
Though knowing that someday
You must release the thread
to survive
Like walking blindfolded
on the edge of a cliff
Uncertain of what the next
step may bring
Hearing the pounding waves
crash into the rocks below
Feeling your heart pound
Sensing the end nearing
Reaching out for a guiding hand
Only to feel the darkness of the night
