You're a star

You told the tale

that you're a star

And you gushed over a hope that
one day you will find 

your moon

to accompany you

throughout those lonely nights.

You told the tale

how both of you

despite everything,

will choose to shine in the darkness,

together.

You indeed are a star.

You will indeed shine

in darkness.

But unlike you,

I don't need darkness 

to shine.

And I don't need anyone

to accompany me either.

Because, I'm the sun.
And I don't fade.

Rock Bottom

When you hit rock bottom,

the only option you have 

is to go back up,

they say.

That is true.

But an option is not an assurance.

You have to struggle to climb back up.

And for all you know,

you might fall over and over again

in the course of climbing.

And that makes you want to

just stay at the rock bottom.
