Oh night, dear night. Don't you see the moon shine?
Even as the sun rests, light can still be found.
Stars scattered like diamonds in the dark.
Dancing like fireflies, glowing like sparks.
Don't you see me when you look up the sky?
Faintly beaming with light that isn't mine?
Comforting you until dawn, gentle and warm.
Healing all the ache, soothing as a balm.
But my dearest night, the glow does not last
The moon cannot provide the blaze it lacks.
Time and time again, it becomes dark once more.
Gone, banished, no one glances back like before.
All the lux from the warmth of a burning star.
Not mine-- only a vessel from afar
I smile like I mean it, show what they want.
No frown can be found. A reflection, a front.
The stars look down at shattered glass on the ground.
A mirror and a recorder that imitates sounds.
I will never be a bright celestial above.
When I only copy the smile they know and love.
Who am I when I am not the guide at dusk?
Or when I am not the reflection they asked?
Am I the ball that shines only with the sun
Or the mirror that only shows you the fun?

I always wonder
What it would feel like to be in your shoes.
To be just like you.

The way you tie up your hair, act like you don't have a care
in the world.

Oh to be just  like  you.

The way you light up everyones face, the moment you walk in the room.
Oh thank God, the day's not doomed.
No, not anymore.
All because
Of you.
theres a person in everyones lives that is thought to be so perfect, like a princess made out of a movie.

Sometimes when I’m running
I detach from reality
And suddenly I’m face down in the rocks
And my knees are ******
And I’m throwing up
But there’s no one to save me
No one to pick me back up
Thats what happens when you’re on your own
You have to stitch up the wound
Stitch it closed alone
And there’s sweat on my hairline
And blood on the dirt
But I have to put myself back on my feet
And keep running
Like I didn’t miss a beat

I’m trying my best to be okay
Okay
So stop yelling
Put down the sharp words
Quit making me cry
I’m tired
Please let me try
To be okay
Okay?

Look at the page
Look at the pen
Lift your shaking hands
Try to write again

Words in my mind
Blotted out mess
Ink spatters on the white
Little patches of darkness

Grip squeezes on its frame
Mind racing, heart pounding
Racking itself for a little bit more
A blank page, yet drowning
Why can't I write anymore?
Why can't I think anymore?

Great Protector, won't you come
and shield me from this pain?
Pass me an indestructible umbrella
to block out all this rain.

Mighty Savior, won't you find
me in my darkest hour?
Extend your hand to greet mine.
Please, don't let me be devoured.

Just Liberator, can't you see the
cruelties done by their hand?
Free me from these atrocities
and lead me to a glorious land.

Righteous Deliverer, don't take too long!
I'll be waiting here for you in this sea
of never-ending savagery. So,
please deliver me. Save me.

...

Why didn't you come, my Messiah?
