Chris Dela Cruz - Night

Used to pretend
I could see in the dark
Then looked around blindly
Feeling an energy
Knowing there was so much to see
Exploring curiously
A night owl
That flew away
A new job that hired me
Makes me sleep early
To explore the night now
Is only in my dreams

In the light I care about the fantasy
Of what people will think of me
While I'm not looking
Find it challenging
To watch a mirror
Reflecting
What can't make others happy
A paper lantern that flies away
Burning until there's no air to breathe
With hopes that may count for nothing
Here temporarily
Gone eternally

So I will reach as high as I can
With loved ones beside me
May this love for them keep on flying
When I fall

And when I die
Do what you want to my body
Cause everything you saw in me
Will be gone from this world
As I burn or rot somewhere
Hidden from the sun
Of my friend's and family's love
