Part of Sun

by @wordsunboxed

I feel like having a little part, A little part of the sun Like the hope that it brings Seeking to catch the rays of positivity To bring some of it into my life, To still burn brighter, Rather than burning out By all things that lead you To you dismay, Winding you down at the end of the day. Sometimes it's perplexing When I try to rise and shine, To be brighter than life These rays of the sun When it gives me hope, Knowing full well it will all come undone By my discretion With which I can't even cope Things have some way to spiral, Spiral out of control Tricking me into believing If I even had that power for a fleeting second Well, some things have a bitter end There's an end to this pretend I'm trying to give it more, More than it needs Despite knowing the truth Which is not so great as it always fades, By the layers of the facade that lie underneath Can't be unearthed, It all feels surreal But the effort is, in fact, very real. Going back to the childhood days, When you were bright as the day Somewhere hidden these memories still lay Pictures of your innocence, Dragging you around The bluntness of reality leaves you to astound All I'm looking for is a haven A sanctuary for healing the wounds, Maybe I'm chasing the wrong thing Maybe all I need is somebody Somebody to share the pain, Someone to hold hands with Under the beautiful rain They always say that when you have love, You don't need anything else Maybe that is my answer, Maybe I've been asking all the wrong questions. Getting over myself, I come to my senses Life can't be lived in future tenses, It is what is, right here and now Not thinking about how you go out But what you make of it while you still can, The journey of this ever running man Running away for myself, From myself Maybe I've got everything I need If I live in this space between The beauty and pain. In need of a light That goes on till by seemingly endless days Thinking of the impossible, I know What's the harm in thinking Of a better place in my heart? Rather than these graves that I've dug for myself Where the cold wind blows All I hear is the silence now, Never heard it like that before Trying to make sense of it all, Still leaves me baffled somehow. All I need is a little part, A little part of the sun To feel the burn, To feel the warmth inside A perpetual storm resides within, Cold winter snow in my soul The fluctuations of my reality Finally taking its toll The moment is edging closer So I decided to drop this act like a poser Its time to be real, be a man I would need a new plan To deal with these mistakes From which I can't outrun Although it is easier said than done But all I need, Is a little part of the sun.
