Lack of Light

That boy over there

With the dark curly hair

His mind lacking severely in color and light

Doesn't know why the sun is so bright


That boy over there

With the dark curly hair

Sitting alone in the dark

Leaving his crimson marks


The one wide awake

Hearing his breath shake

Does not dare take a deep breath

For fear of being consumed by death


The one wide awake

Hearing his breath shake

Is sick of spiraling into oblivion

And learns instead, to be made of obsidian


This boy right here

Has won his battles against fear

No longer afraid of the night

Because he learned how to fight


This boy right here

Has won his battles against fear

Mind spilling over with color and light

Knows exactly why the sun is so bright
