Reflection

Hello, dear sunlight,

it’s been a long time

I didn’t write

a beautiful story

in your glory.

I was in a deep slumber,

hoping to wake up with a smile.

It’s been a while,

I miss your radiant glow

on my face.

I’ve rather been slow

soaking in some grace.

It was dark.

I was waiting to see my reflection

in the abyss.

Something felt amiss,

and it was me

who couldn’t see,

how brute

I had become,

cursing my own roots.

My patience quivered,

my emotions shivered.

I wasn’t who I saw

in the rattled river.

It was my wrath

that eventually conquered.

Surfacing my innermost demons.

An inhuman emerged amongst humans.

I’m sorry dear sunlight,

In the quest for the ultimate joy,

I lynched a pure, passionate boy.

The brightest smile, and the starry eyes

have now mastered

the art to despise.

I’m sorry dear sunlight,

I somehow mustered

some courage to invite

candor into the party of chaos.

Emptiness mirrored

in the storm.

And all I hoped for,

was to bring back my lost self

into my true form.
