Daniel's Song


 


You didn't worry if you fit in

It didn't take away your song

If the world saw you as different

You were just You

Just You all along


When the world dished out some trouble

And the dogs tried to drag you down

Along came a friend you could lean on then

A smile turned from a frown


And in those times you were lifted up

You returned the favor in time

It is us who hold your light and songs

Not forgotten

Not forgotten by One

In Conquest

Feeling sluggish

while clouds of disinterest 

hover and threaten to beat down

Sometimes I'm resentful

and at other times I wallow in the safety of knowing

I have no options

At least, I let my weary mind

tell me so...
