Do you know what happens
when you stare into the sun?
You feel the warmth of the sun on your face
until it eventually begins to burn.
You squint into the light
of something so beautiful
until you can no longer see.
You lose sight of everything
until you can't even see past your own nose.
Piece by piece
you turn to ash.
I know my fate as I stare into the sun.
I am unable to look away
for I am a fool that cannot let go of hope
that one day I may be able to bear it.
