like the sun

I am gasping

For air in an ocean

Of inescapable emotion

I am blinded

By the light of the sun

It shines so brightly on everyone

Yet,

I am drowning

I see the distant, monumental star

And it seems so impossibly far

Yet,

I am observing

This star in the distance and I want to think

I can reach it despite that I'm on the brink

Of drowning in sorrow

But I will wait until tomorrow

And I will prove if the sun

Truly shines on everyone

And if it will be able to see

In a crowd of billions, me

Or if it will just let me drown

In a crowd of billions, without a sound.

But I think it will see me, because like all decent human beings

I am wonderful

I am worthy

I am bright

Like the sun.
