The Clear Sunset

The night sky was grieving  

I was like the work 

of an evil child 

I was terrified by the dreadful look

The enchanting grudge 

I have with one feature 

And the dazzling uncertainty of myself

People kill to be beautiful

My mind made a mighty mean

Mysterious thought of myself

I am the blemish in the sea

 

Then I looked clearer

 

The sun shouted with color

I can't explain it 

I was so beautiful

I was caught

Dazzled by the lovely me

Far from being frightful for I felt 

A fire from within

Dangerously beautiful

I hadn't paid attention 

Here I look in amazement

And here is where the map should fold 

I am human 

I am as striking as lightning

I am a beautiful sunset
