forever sun

i felt alive once
i felt like i
could rule the world
i felt alive
and then the storm came

i felt hope once
i felt like everyone
was on my side
i felt hope
and then the clouds came

and in the darkness
i felt the rain
and in the sadness
i felt the pain

and i leaned
on the mutterings
of myself above others

imagining myself
far away from the crowd
dodging the shadows
avoiding all the clouds

teaching myself
over and over again
how to come back to myself
how to be me again

hopeful again
in the darkest days

on the hunt for the forever sun
