Angelic deception
you'll never accept them
close eyes that are unseen and see a light
hidden within shadows
that will never grow quite
as bright
as the hope
within your chest.

lights burn out
and people burn like paper
but all in all
hope remains.

cowardly shyness
and the bravery to chew and swallow
rather than run and hide.
fear of being judged for
existing
and
living.

find
light
fight with
fire.
find love
fight with
hope.
