Superficial

Hanging on twine,
like it’s built from steel,
Unmoved by the peril below.
Your face painted with a grin,
As eyes stared forward,
capturing the skies.

What makes you steady?
You thirst, but you don’t drink.
You need life, but you chose death.

The sun can’t shine eternally,
in a world with two sides.
Light submits to darkness,
at least once.
