Likeness
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
