Starchild
Now is when
My muscles ache
My thighs tremble
My hands crumple
Within the compound of a hellish world
Where pain berates
And guilt succeeds
Where shame dictates
I look upon the dying sun
It's colossal structure
An ode to my own strength
To the fire within
And then I look down at myself
Lying in a puddle of sweat
Subject to my own limitations
To my own weakness
But there is fire
And it burns forever
Like my shining arbiter
That blazes above me
Past the freezing mountains
It beats with duress
And holds true
To the coldest of winds
I look up at it now
Hands grappled in dirt
Feet looked in earth
Chest heaving
And I lift myself
I exhale
And feel the power within
As strong as the sun
As bright as the moonlight night
Casting away shadows of grief
Now I am
Bereft of weakness
For I am a son of the Stars
Starchild
With a burning heart
Awakened
To live in everlasting frenzy
