"In the Eye of Despair"

Staring hatred in the face
Poisoning my own soul
Holding onto the toxic loathing
Captive of my dreams, inside I sleep
Claiming my life, a prisoner of sorrow
Grim is the silence of somber blue
Many journeys of pain, few of pleasure
Incensed passion in an agitated space
~~~~~~
Discovering the key to unlock my spirit
Realizing hatred or love is a choice
Accepting the healing hands of courage
My soul takes flight amidst the desolation
Breaking down the barriers
Finding a rainbow through a forest of trees
Darkness succumbs to the lightness of a new day
Nourishing the beauty within
~~~~~~
In the eye of the deepest despair, you find love
In the heart of forgiveness you find peace
A seed of compassion grows roots
My love unfolds
For you, I would lay down my own life
Giving shelter from your sorrow
Saving myself, building a bridge
Washing away the stains of yesterday

Finding love through forgiveness in the eye of despair
