Surrounded by bright souls
I felt mine darkening
It used to be like that before-
Bright as the sun, blinding
Bounded to a darkness after the fall
Neither the sun nor the stars were more tempting
Than the warmth of a hellhole
That was as dark as a buried coffin
It’s been so long since I felt this whole
I am a shadow in the brightest light, dominating
Had enough with the light that stole
The black, an ink that’ll keep me breathing
Even after my ending…
What if I told you
Great things are awaiting
Beyond the hardships
There’s a future you’re shaping
But what if I didn’t
What if I reminded you
Things were once fucked-up
But you pushed through
I’ve seen the magic
All that you hold, a beauty inside
My moonchild you’re a raging wave
Of love and strength, high-tide
Remember our lesser selves
The ones we left behind
Take a look at yourself
At your majestic new mind
Marvel at the universe
Your loyal guardian angel
Waiting for you to jump
And leap into the danger
Because there’s no gravity here
Nothing to hold you down
With every leap, you’ll soar higher
And forget all the letdowns
You’re almost there
Soon enough you’ll reach it
The oasis you’ve been searching for
I swear it’ll be worth every bit
I’ll write a thousand songs
Just for you
I have a thousand words to say
If you allow me to
You are my poetry
My words are all for you
I wish you knew
How much I wish for you
You’ll always be that wish
The one I can never have
Because I’m a coward…
I’m a coward when it comes to you
I’m a fool for love
I dream about it
And pray to God
To make me fall…
I read the stories
And dream…
But I hope-
One day
I’ll have my own story to tell
And others will dream…
