Darkness is not emptiness

Trust in the stars to light your way

this is not how i want to feel
excitement shifting into anxiety
slipping over the peak of thrill

let the heat of enthusiasm stay
warming the clay, soft and malleable
don't let possibility lead to fear

your potential is not a tipping cup
it will not spill you out, empty
one fall cannot bleed you dry

you course through your veins
the good the bad, saturated through
a complete emulsion of both

retain the joy and allow for loss
but let the anxiety dissipate
let your energy stay pure, identified

you are all of it, cracked but not broken
grieving but not empty
uncertain but not lost

your blackness is not void,
it is the infinite backdrop to the stars
