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
