When it’s dark
I am your guiding light
To protect you
From the fright
Of being by your own
And confronting your soul
All alone
Yet when day breaks
Like your dream
You discard me
Switch off my beam
If I’m the fire
That provides you warmth
Lights up your passion
Then why do you discard me
Like garment
That’s out of fashion
You say I am the tree
That gives you refuge
From life’s scorching rays
It’s subterfuge
Because when the sun sets
You leave me to the night
Deserted and discarded
While you seek the light
I am the hammer
That from your chain
Has set you free
Even from me
That you may fly again
And iron that I am
Rooted to this earth
I remain
Once again discarded
Rust covering my pain
