"I Am"

I am the sun and the moon.

I wonder about the lights out of my reach;

I hear the sound of stars falling around me.

I see the endless paths warping before my feet;

I want to know which one is the right way.

I am the sun and the moon.

 

I pretend to shine behind a facade.

I feel my potential brimming under my skin;

I touch the stars just at the tips of my fingers.

I worry about losing my way under all the lights;

I cry for the craters embedded within me.

I am the sun and the moon.

 

I understand that I must let go of the craters in my heart;

I say the words I couldn’t say before.

I dream of stepping unwaveringly into the starlight;

I try not to to flare out or hide behind the limelight.

I hope to be one with the stars;

I am the sun and the moon.
