In the absence of darkness
I stand almost unnoticed
A shadow of hope
Cast aside by society
Until I am needed
Barely holding myself
As I am cold and hidden in view
But when I am whole with purpose
I shine with everything ounce I am
Flickering against the night
Caring for a world I cannot see
A world that hardly knows me
Touching it with my every effort
Wanted only for what I give
As I burn, trying to survive
Yet I let my life slowly fade away
Giving myself to everyone but me
Sometimes lit simply to help them believe
