you are the night, you are the daylight
on this vulnerable world
the one we live on   the one where we survive
even through blood and pain and tears
you’re tough as nails, a force of fury
i wish i could be as cool
and in a dream i saw a sunset
i saw you smiling   it was a picture, that’s what it was

and i’m reminded of the thousand times i wasn’t true to myself
and i’m reminded of the million times i’ll be true to someone else

aaah

each day, when you open your eyes to let in visual information
that lets you see what’s in front of you at least in a given direction
i hope, and i know it sounds dumb, i hope you feel as strong as the sun
ready to burn through anything
the stillness and the quiet days
