Big ball of light

This big ball of light

Of heat

Shining down upon earth

A big fiery sphere of burning life

I turn away

With hesitation

For the brightness is unbearable

Not because it is hard to see

But because it feels like a microscope inside of me

Revealing everything I wish to keep unseen

How can I get away

Cowering under naked trees

The day has made me nocturnal

Except no matter how secluded I become

Regardless of how far underground I go

A ray of light always gets through and grabs a hold

Like a knife slicing through the air

A laser point of light magnifying every single hair

Burning my skin ever so slowly

What choice do I have anymore

I open up the blinds

Reluctantly

Let there be light I whisper in the crevices of my heart

In my dusty dishevelled room you’ll find me crawled away in fright

To find that the ball of light does not shine from above

I have been cowering in the darkness

Wondering why it still is light

Not knowing that it has been in my own palms all along

Carrying around this little ball of life.
