You light up the night
after living through plenty of dark times
you are now afraid of your light
so often it was not that healthy
for you to shine too bright
but still…
something in you keeps on pushing
something wants to express
what you came here to give
why you wanted to live
after being burned once too often
your mind now decides to conform
and your body remembers the dangers
of not fitting in with the norm
and yet…
something in you keeps on straining
it knows there is nothing to fear
it wants you to live
what you came here to give
despite many lifetimes of darkness
your spirit was never afraid
it likes to pretend to be human
it knows that the game was well played
and your soul calls
your wall falls
your wings open wide
and then you light up the night
