Hello Sun

Sad little girl
Creature of darkness
It’s time to wake up
Out of the shadows
Trapped beneath the heavy covers
Pinning you down to the floor
You don’t even sleep on your bed anymore

Breathe slowly
You’ve got all day to smile
Be yourself today
Look out the window

Hello Sun,
It’s been a while,
You seem to have changed,
Were you always so bright?

What a silly girl you are,
I’m a force of nature,
Created for a purpose,
It is you, my dear, who has changed.
Do you see me now?
I am as I always have been,
Since the day I was born
Since I was made to warm you
To brighten your day
You, little girl, you have changed
I have watched you grow
And I have watched you dwindle
Don’t stop now, my dear, you have so far to go.
Such a bright young girl
Don’t darken your spirit
You have so far to go.

Exhale
Safe little girl
Crawl into the arms of those who love you
And smile
