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
