Analysis of Lost In The Dark"



I’d like to make you smile,
since I have been lately neglecting my own peace  
However, I remind myself
Happiness does not compare to insensitivity
Although we are faced with darkness, death, and war,
everyone is waiting to see the light
but it has always been here, the sun rises every day to make things bright
So ignite my fire, and bask in my glow
Let me inspire you, and warm your soul
Find your spark!
It might lead someone back home who has been lost in the dark
