The sun was so good at its job. It kept the planets in perfect orbit. Gave light to the mirror of the moon. Everyone admired the sun It was just picture perfect. Well... Almost. Everyone has their weaknesses. The sun wasn't perfect, it was inadequate. It shone its rays, tried to tickle the shivering Earth But no matter how hard it tried It couldn't warm this cold being. All of the other planets and stars Continued to stare at it in awe Or envy. But the earth looked at it with disdain. And no matter how much effort the sun gave No matter how flawless it performed in other areas No matter how many people looked up to it for the things that it was god at The sun couldn't help but feel Inadequate. I am the sun.
