sadness of the sunshine

by Cymbre Dolphay

It no longer rains...
such a very depressing thought.
I woke to find the sun
watching me sleep.
I was heartbroken.
The sun and I disagree
on so many things.
It is warm and loved...
and I am not.
The rain was so kind to me,
not bringing my flaws to light.
Unlike an accursed star,
that sits in the sky
with everyone depending on it,
worshiping it,
praising it,
being the warm center
of so many lives.
And I...
a creature shunned
from that warmth.
Just because I refused
to be another acolyte.
