SUNSHINE AURA – self-esteem. self-love. self-actualization. 

Do you know what it’s like

To be the sun

In the dead center

Orbited by everyone?

Some of the planets want your warmth

Others like the way you make them shine

Some still will constantly leave and return

And say, “you’re not theirs – you’re only mine.”

You spin and crackle with the rage of fire

Producing forceful, amazing, radiant light

Only to be sustained by your inner desire

For none of the planets can give you life.

You watch their travel, ecstatic with hope

That just one of them, only one, might slow

To tell you how bright it is you glow

To shower you with the essence you freely give.

Try as you might to be really seen

They don’t seem to care

Only concerned with taking and taking

Even more from you, far more than their fair share.

Your only wish, that just one planet

Could give you breath

And instead they take, take, take

Only leaving you eventual death.
