Light

Growing pains aren't only a part of your body.

It was always hard since the beginning

That light wouldn’t move for anyone, not me

And however hard it kept on going

The light would not sway in this direction.

 

It’s all cold, and how much

Will you let it go on

Mocking any good progress

I can say I don’t know.

This love is one-sided,

Burning down what we made

The short life of what’s seen

It’s also no that safe.

If you’re ready say “yes”,

You best display all now.

 

It’ll end that light if it never changes

It is time to call on all that I have.

 

Let’s start up with a beat

To scare that light to change.

 

That light way up there, yell out to it now

Let it hear your voice so it knows the truth.

Maybe since you are so different, then

Maybe we will observe a difference.

 

Ever since that first time, this face of mine,

It’s been burned, peeling into something else

This new alias controlling my words

As this mess on my face freezes me dead.

 

I’m still in the dark, yet

I can still see the light

I can still see the rhythm

In this vision so close

To that of rejection.

Nobody knows where these

Unknown answers could be

I’m still looking for them

Bashing my soul forward.

 

The light is still not changing for us here

Slamming our voices out to call it down.

 

I think the beat is weak

The light is not moving.

 

The burning light doesn’t care about our voice

It will just turn up there and nothing else.

As long as you’re joining your voice with mine

That is all I need to know to feel safe.

 

Once more this light just stands

A testament to us

Our starving and thirsting.

It’s so dark with the light

And I am feeling scared.

If someone saw me now

Would they think I’m odd, or

Can they see this color?

Am I bound to be shards?

 

And this light left it’s refusal to change

But now no face stands in its way anymore.

We understand, this light is not our death

It is the answer we’ve been looking for.

Since the first time it seemed a curse, but now

 It’s giving off a new light, and I know

I no longer have masks, it will not burn.

You and I have changed, and we have the light.

I usually write my poetry all in one go, on the spot, so it might not be that good.
