My face is warm like sunshine
Round and bright
I stare up at the burning orb in the sky
That I share so much likeness with

At first glance it’s beautiful
Bright and hot
Erupting with light
Happy and free

But I can feel the wrath beneath the surface
A reckless storm lies underneath
Churning and billowing
A constant angry motion

There’s so much depth
Lost to the brightness
If the light would only dim for a short time
Then everyone would see the truth

The blinding truth
That it’s out of control
That it’s fighting to stay alive
Fighting to keep its light

So it can mask the truth
So everyone will remain unaware
Of the turmoil and fear
Of the chaos and pain crammed inside the light

It won’t show
No human will ever truly see
Because the sun is good at one thing
Remaining bright

So I stare at the sun
Bathing in the warmth
Comparing our likeness
Because I know the truth behind the light
