Sun Bathe

Heartbeat cracks, then crumbles,
words sound like low mumbles.
Inner screams sing a song,
everyday feels so long.

All alone here I stand,
turn my back on demands.
Scary thoughts shake my head,
every step creates dread.

Wipe a tear off my cheek,
feel so frail, meek, just weak.
Gulp the knots others tie,
broken smiles, exhale sighs.

Stare at the bright sun rays,
let life fall as it lays.
Golden hues warms me up,
yellow light fills my cup.

Bask in positive thoughts,
gloomy views swiftly fought.
Concrete dreams come to life,
clears away painful strife.

Tomorrow blows with ease,
feel a sense of pure peace.
Faith allows joyous beams,
reflections shine and gleam.
