Who Can Resist The Beauty of the Light?

By Zelda
l
I bore my anger to show to the light,
seeking comfort in its beauty,
but I was not worthy in its eyes,
I was not worthy in its eyes.

"Why is your life so dark?" it said.

"You are not in the depths of the pit.
This must be a lack of love"
u
And I wept.
I wept deeply
