The Sun

from all the despair and hopelessness
i created a sun
and gazed upon it
it was powerful
but i knew it was hollow
but it was because of the sun
that i could move on
and that sun shone bright in my heart
for quite a while
and all the fake strength and fake hope i created 
flourished
until it collapsed 
into what it was made of
for no sun that was made this way
was to shine forever
and you can't force something
that wasn't there in the first place
