Emerging light
The heavens refused to write our story
and the gods cut my wings off
so I can't reach you
not in this lifetime
but I want to stand in the sun with you
bask in your light
to be baptized in your radiance
even if I must emerge
even if it means
i have to come out
from the shadows
for the first time
i want rainy days and love confessions baby
the cottagecore dream life with you
the quiet kind of forever
i wonder how different our paths would be
if the gods looked down on me
with mercy instead of mockery?
but can you live
without the euphoria of performance?
can you breathe
without the high of worship?
give up your light?
could my ugliness
steal your heart?
i was never divine
i know
they made sure I knew
never craved the light
but in your hands
i could become
something terrifyingly
beautiful
