Craving beyond imagination
Seems to be trendy nowadays;
As I sit here, I also ponder
I think about why we decide
To embrace pain even though
All we want is happiness
–
I’m in a wheel of paradox,
Not because I’m lost
I’ve never been lost,
But because I desire sovereignty
From myself, my thoughts
From the world consumed by chaos;
I want to be the astronaut
To my own soul
But I’m not
And it hurts
–
There’s only so much we can do
For ourselves, for others
Only so much you can take
To the sea, beyond the moon
Only so much darkness you can’t see
Nobody can
Not even you, now
And it hurts
–
We humans
We crave light, hope
We crave all good things;
When light doesn’t shine, talk
We create fire out of water
We use electricity out of necessity
Some of us, we
Try seeking another world
We fight with death just to stay alive
We colonize ourselves, our soul
Exploiting every ounce of strength
Just to stay alive
We’ve learned from our external world
All too well
And whilst in process
We yearn for more light
Failing to conquer our own beliefs
We cringe with fear, desiring more strength
Which ends up being our light
Only we can see, we can feel now
–
But light is never just light
Light is always something else
Light is heavy with love
Light is being found when you’re not
Light is energy climaxing
A reflection of the sun, light
A religion we follow, light
The shade of our colonizers, light
Light is the devil
But in red
Light is above us, under us
Light is never just light
Light will never just be light
But light is love
And without it
We will never find ourselves
