Analysis of Face The Sun



Face The Sun

Life is unbearable sometimes,
Overcoming it is a process,
To escape the unthinkable,
It will make you think that you're in
A land of eerie beauties and monsters
And if you’re not careful
Ghosts may appear
To haunt your dreams
But remember
Stars are surrounded by darkness
All it takes for you to shine
Like the Moon is to
Face the Sun
And walk in the light
Be stubborn and press onward
The distance between
Heaven and Hell is
The steps you make
In the right direction!
