Sun
Blinding light up in the sky
Keeping a solar system breathing
With your pain
Constantly burning so hot
Constantly shining so bright
Because you have to

Forcing yourself to burn
Eventually, you will burn out
And leave us all in the darkness and the cold
You ward them off for us
The cold, vast, emptiness of space
Is briefly illuminated
In your attempt
To save the planets, moons, asteroids
People
That orbit you

They depend on you, oh Sun
The weight of an entire solar system on your back
And still, you walk forward
Clothing us all in light
