it seems as though I've been crawling in this dark tunnel for too long and have forgotten what lies at the end.

Let me see the light.

it seems that i have lost the ability to smile genuinely.

thank you, jackie.

Song: THE VOICE WITHIN LYRICS

Young girl don’t cry I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall Young girl it’s alright Your tears will dry, you’ll soon be free to fly When you’re safe inside your room you tend to dream Of a place where nothing’s harder than it seems No one ever wants or bothers to explain Of the heartache life can bring and what it means Chorus: When there’s no one else, look inside yourself Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within Then you’ll find the strength that will guide your way You’ll learn to begin to trust the voice within Young girl don’t hide You’ll never change if you just run away Young girl just hold tight Soon you’re gonna see your brighter day Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed It’s so hard to stand your ground when you’re so afraid No one reaches out a hand for you to hold When you look outside look inside to your soul Chorus Life is a journey It can take you anywhere you choose to go As long as you’re learning You’ll find all you’ll ever need to know (be strong) You’ll break it (hold on) You’ll make it Just don’t forsake it because No one can tell you what you can’t do No one can stop you, you know that I’m talking to you Chorus Young girl don’t cry I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall
