" Don't Promise me'

Don't promise me help, or a guiding light My story's mine, and I'll hold it tight I've learned to face my struggles alone And keep my head high, like a beacon shown Forty years of darkness can't be undone By a single candle, no matter how bright the sun I've grown accustomed to this endless night And found solace in the light of my own sight My days are uncertain, my time is short No room for experiments, or a new report I'll hold on to my strength, and my heart's own fire And navigate the darkness, with my soul's desire
