They’re engulfed by the dark side.
And it felt so right to hide.
Forced to believe that they’re wrong,
Because they have been told so for so long.
But when you look much deeper,
You’ll realize that they’re a keeper.
Though the image appears tainted,
With them, you became acquainted,
And only you know the truth.
These people who have lost their youth,
On the outside they appear tough.
But in honesty, were never praised enough.
They want the same things everyone else does.
They long to be acknowledged and to be loved.
Many have fallen as a result of discourage.
And no one was there to pull them off the edge.
But you can pull them back,
With the helping hand they lacked.
You can optimize their mentality of life.
And minimize the strife.
