The waning moon’s rise.

I lay empty and broken.

Another failure.

///

The waning moon’s new sun rises.

I lay empty and broken,

Another yelling, "Failures!"

///

The new sun rises.

Laying empty and I'm broke, empty but standing,

yelling, "Failures!" "I'm done now."

///

The new sun's rises bright light.

broken, empty but I stand above blank pages,

yelling, "I'm done now" "Should I jump?"

///

The new sun's shines bright light

I stand above blank over new pages,

yelling, "Should I jump?" "what've I done?"

///

The new sun shines bright.

I Stand over new wonders,

yelling, "I’ve done it"
