the other day, while listening to a podcast i got inspired to write this lil poem. the sun has always been something i have been drawn to. for warmth, for light, for positively. even sophomore year of college when friends where speaking of getting tattoos i thought to myself if i were to ever get one what would it be. wanting a meaning behind it i thought about a lil sun! what a perfect reminder of all things positive. i really wish i had the message i typed to my friends about the reasons why i would choose a sun, but the podcast brought me back to those days thinking of tattoos and why the sun is a great representation of all things good. she is beautiful.

i am the sun

who is your role model? they ask

which celebrity do you look up to?

but out of all the stars in and under the sky

it’s the sun who speaks to me

her warmth is comforting

her light is hers

truly nobody else shines as bright as she

for her light is the brightest of them all

she is hers

unique in nature

helping others grow beside her

a ball of energy

sustaining life for all

and no matter how down she gets she always comes back up

day after day

she is an essence of positivity

and it is her

her, i want to be like her.
