A Light In the Universe

I am a light in the universe Even though i quickly pass I have shined but not nearly enough For other lights to shine back their love I am a light in the universe Wishing my fate i could reverse So i could shine to my potential And only do those things essential I am a light in the universe Dimming quickly under a solar curse About to disappear inside that black hole Wondering if there is a God to rest my soul I am a light in the universe With a mind unable to traverse Why into this life I was suddenly cast The meaning of it, from the first day to the last I am a light in the universe A child of accidental cosmic birth My senses lit by brighter lights than I Striving for academic levels so high I am a light in the universe Catching my breath under a mixture of gas In search of luxury under a fading galaxy In search of eternity under a divine fallacy We are all lights in the universe Fragile pieces of ancient stars Each one of us with a different face Justifying our reasons to float through space
