If the stars never lit up the sky again,

I’d count to the infinities in my memories.

If the ocean became still,

I would make my own waves.

And if the sun doesn’t rise,

I will thrive in the dark.

If it was dark for eternity,

It would not change me.

On the foggiest of nights,

when not a sound can be heard, (change

I will follow my heart.

If I get to close,

I worry I am not what you hoped.

Suffocating thoughts around my brain,

Can you handle my tattered past?

I’ve lost more than I can speak of,

Some memories are best left unsaid.

So Forgive my attitude,

But the sun is missing in my life some days.

Which is why,

I smile in the absence of the light.
