Those who choose to give have lived with those who take.
Those who choose to love have felt their strong hearts break.
Those who never leave have been left a thousand times.
Those who warm the day have felt cold in the night.
Some will choose to hide, play with shadows of their pain,
Never moving far, discussing all life's strains,
But some will always love, no matter what the cost,
For some are born to find themselves when all around are lost.
Some will change, become the harder shell that doesn't give,
Others take the pain and grow, choosing just to live,
For some are simply ghosts passing in the night,
But some are heaven's beacons, born to shine their light.
If ever you feel lost and you don't know where to go,
Remember who you are and feel your true path glow.
A ghost will never question, but you are full of why's,
So know that you're a beacon filling shadows with your light.
