Now Shine a Thousand Candles Bright
Now shine a thousand candles bright
Upon the world’s dark sphere
The deep blue sky
Is set a light as myriad flames appear
In suburb, ghetto, farm, and town
They spread the news abroad
That Jesus Christ is born tonight
Our savior and our God
Oh star, that shown o’er Bethlehem
Now let your kindly light
With tranquil hope and glory
Shine in ev’ry home tonight
To every dark and anguished heart
Send down your ray divine
And may the light of God’s own love
Like Christmas candles shine
Coming out of the closet as a naturist by ConriSade, literature
Literature
Coming out of the closet as a naturist
Coming out of the closet as a naturist
The closet's full of possibilities
for dressing, hiding and more
in the dark, warm and safe category of labellessness
it’s true colours what we choose to be dressed in
when we open the door to face society’s norms
to greet the others, wrapped in brands, marks ‘n styles
that show an ironic mixture of sexism ‘n chastity
So one protects the mind in a metaphorical closet
only to prevent being called a whore or a slut
because being open and trusting
doesn’t seem to be a normal thing
when our incorporated mental super-ego
is constructed with colourfully camouflaged lego
to fas
Living moment for the moment by ConriSade, literature
Literature
Living moment for the moment
I will walk my way to the future
On roads of possibilities and hopes
I will accept any view or feeling
that changes my perspective
On my way I will write stories
about people and signs next to me
On my way I will take pictures
of past desires and chances
I know that silence will guide me
when thoughts restrict my freedom
Because words are overrated
and my body is my home

Live Through This
Tonight, don't pick up that knife,
You're worth it, please let me help you,
In saving your own life
Tonight, hold your head up,
Look into the mirror,
And gaze into your own eyes
I'm betting you'll be surprised,
At just what I'm thinking you will find
We struggle...to breathe
We fight...to believe
We hope...to die
Even while we pray to survive
Hold onto the memories,
Of each and every really good thing
Let go of all the pain you feel,
So much hurts, it seems unreal
Hold onto the friends you've made,
Even all the ones who've gone away
Remember what it means to miss,
This is what will happen, if you don't live through this
To
Hang not your head
Face the stars instead
Cry if need be
Yet fight for glee
If you should stumble or fall
Faith conquers all
While others are self serving be kind
Scatter the dark, leave yours behind
Too many hearts have lost their way
In a world that's gone to gray

Literature
The Fading of the Light
Desperation makes us,
Do so many things
Falling further from our dreams,
Never knowing what it means
Loss, heartache, and sorrow,
Overcome us in waves,
And we would give everything we have,
Just to make it change
In the night, you open your eyes,
So filled with fear,
Of the fading of the light...
Well, let me tell you, my friend:
Look within
It's never truly over,
When we can begin again
The beacon's always beckoning,
Look back at where you've been
The light is always shining,
So just let it in
Everyone is brilliant, in their own way...
Frustration makes us angry,
So bitter in our souls
Raging in our impotence,
Not knowing how to let it

Last Man Standing
I, have lost
I've felt the strain
I, have wept,
I have felt the pain
Nights, so long,
And so strange
Life, felt like
Living in a cage!
So, alone!
So empty inside!
Fire, burned out!
Even the embers had died...!
At least, according to the voices in my head
But, you see...it's me that's not dead
In spite of all that they were planning,
It's the end...and I...
Am the last man standing
I am the last one!
Scorched on my skin and torched to my core!
Suffering for a lifetime!
Until I decided not to take it anymore!
Illuminated! By the fire that burns within...!
Forged and tempered...
Born to win
(I am the last one, I am...the
