Look at you, So filled with light

Still fretting over their dimness. Look at you,

Filled with the purest form of love, And crying over their ignorance.

Look at you, Missing out on a sunset, Staying in all day to get upset!

Look at you, Ignoring your marvellousness and wondering over their success.

Look at you, So captivating and getting hooked to silly things.

Look at you, You walking miracle, And questioning magic!
