Light looks gentle soft and pure
But none can bear what stars endure
To shine demands the pain of flame
To glow is more than just a name
It carries truth through endless dark
It burns yet leaves no final mark
Those who bear love’s quiet gleam
Know pain’s the price of every dream
The brighter glow the deeper scar
The truest light shines from afar
For souls are suns that walk through night
To prove their warmth by giving light
So when you feel your edges fray
Remember—light is born that way
It weighs the heart yet makes it whole
A burden sweet upon the soul
