A Day in the Life

A star goes up

and everything starts again.
a new light,
a new star
and you-
hoping to be reborn
hoping to restart
everytime a star goes up
your core starts waking up
hoping to be reborn
with a brand new seed
full with life
hoping to bloom this time
but the star keeps going
up and up and up
and then down
completing its full cycle
a full circle
and the cracks start cracking
leaking the dark in
creeping in at every cycle
and you-
in the center of your loop
in the center of your circle
and the dark leaks out
then the dark leaks in
you hope to keep it longer this time
but it keeps creeping in
some days taking over
some days just leaking in -breathing in-
leaking out -breathing out-
the star completes its cycle
and so do you
hoping to be reborn next time
fully aware that dark will be, too.
