Sunrise

Look at the black sky Endless no matter how high A single white string comes into view It appeared out of the blue This mystical string began to divide White and black, opposites collide To the struggle, there will be one victor Survive this natural cluster The holy white light wins the fight Pummels the evil darkness out of sight The sky comes back to life A consequence of the previous strife Its savior slowly comes into view Glowing brilliantly, as the wind blew The closer he got, the more it breathed The hero won, his sword, he sheathed Guiding everyone with his light Shining on everything in sight Watch the sun yellow and strong Its rays fierce and long Look at it floating so high Mastering the vast sky I stand dazzled by the majestic scene It’s so beautiful and serene Light fills the land Except the point where I stand There is a darkness in me From it, I can't seem to break free I'm trapped in my own demise Waiting for a miracle, my internal sunrise
