Rise

I am the sun,

A single star,

A spec of dust in a colossal universe,

Small against the crimson giants.

So often my light is covered up,

Hidden by the clouds of fear,

Silenced by the cold darkness,

Or the world just turns away.

I am loved and I love many,

But they rarely get too close,

For no one wants to burn and fall,

So in the darkness I am alone,

Yet in the darkness I am bright,

I learnt to shine on my own,

Even as it sets my heart on fire,

Burning through my soul,

As every ray comes at a price.

I am what to always see at day,

But never look directly at,

I am what you forget at night,

But  miss when it cold,

When you're afraid of the dark,

When you need hope,

And even when I lose my light,

In the morning I will rise.
