Sun
Location
There is the sky
Above my head
Engulfing the sun
Glaring down at me
Oh what I wouldn’t give
To take that sun
And drop it into the sea
Extinguishing the radiant beams
The sun is my polar opposite
A judgmental overseer
Baring a positive light
On my dank conscience
It’s true that I am dark
What have I become
The younger, spritely girl
Has dried up in the sun
I never asked to be this way
An empty void no emotion can fill
Like a deep sea abyss
Distant and cold
I never asked to be this way
A polished face stained by tears
A porcelain mask
Cracked from the pressure
I never asked to be this way
A single species on a desert island
No one to connect with
To reach out to in my pain
I never asked to be this way
Tormented by psychological demons
An eternal rampage
Trapped within my mind
No, I never asked to be this way
Nor did I ever want to be
Yet somehow I have become
Depressed
Oh what I wouldn’t give
To take that sun
And drop it down inside of me
To clear away such dreadful pain
