What is to give light, must for years burning endure,
If you want to light the world, self sacrifice is the only cure.
To become a beacon for others, you have to grow your height,
Burn like the sun in the sky, far and wide share your light.
Some dazzle with their brilliance, like a diamond that is rare,
Others light the flame in others, ensuring they carry further the flare.
I cannot shine at someone's expense, nor pass my malady to thee,
I need to be consumed to my very core, the burning is what defines me.
What burns with so much passion, will get consumed as soon,
Better to burst like a supernova, than to become a dull moon.
Even in my dramatic passing, I'll for years keep shining bright,
Not wax and wane as the time flows, dependent on sun's light.
There's a glory in burning bright, like the sun dominating the day sky,
I prefer a galaxy of (k)night stars, each burning with their personal why.
