To Be The Sun
How I long to be the sun
That radiates its light
How I long to be the sun
That illuminates others' lives
Yet when the sun sets It weeps in solitude
Though it appears to shine It sears within
I am the sun
Burning with a facade of joy
But outwardly radiating
With solar bursts and prominences
The agony of being the sun is profound
