A Star Cannot Shine Without a Little Darkness
I want walk among the vast stars
Be so far in deep space
Where Earth is but a faint memory
A blurry image
In my galaxies of thought
I want to forget everything I've locked away in the deepest parts of my mind
Just simply be present in a non-existent time
The weight of humanity floating away like distant memories
Soon to be forgotten
I want to close my eyes on all my worries
Feel even the simplest of stresses distance themselves
As I lie among the constellations
Oh how simple it would be
If I was just another star burning in this infinite universe
Existing to give life
And surely
One day
Burn out
