I watched the sun rise this morning,
As the rays pierced through the curtains.
The birds are singing,
But I can’t bear to look at it.
Because inside, I’m too dark
For something so full of light.
So later when I saw the pink against my wall,
And realised the sun was setting,
It’s as though I was being reminded
That even darkness deserves light,
And we deserve second chances.
