The strives made towards the goal are in vain,

For the bane of my existence in relentless in stopping my everlasting attempts at eternal happiness.

The scale of justice swings as we sway from the valves and push out towards the heavens until the chains snap and I fall...

I fall,
I fall into darkness and darkness becomes a bright light.

A spirit experiencing humanity, rather then human preparing to become celestial.

Failed attempts lead to glory as surly as darkness leads to light.

The author's comments:
Once again, the fact the joy often sprouts from sadness was a key player in my inspiration. I hope people try and see the happiness in their lives rather then the sadness, and that even when people act as if you arn't there, you should always try and discover the true meaning for their reasoning and maybe you can find the silver lining as I try to do in my daily life.
