For so long I have learned to dwell in darkness,

It’s like I never even knew the light existed

I disguised myself in its depths,

Preventing myself to grow

But now I know there is a light

That eclipses all darkness

It is the only way, the only hope

For this broken world

I long to bathe in its brilliance

And to never shrink back to those shadows

That first comfort and then flee.

It was never meant to be.

The answer to this life is love

I should have always listened to the voice of

Wisdom from above.
