Sunshine

this poem was originally written march 5, 2006

Sunshine

Your world is darkened...

rejected

hurt

angry

depressed

bitter

lonely

A ray of sunshine squeezes into your dark world...

skeptical but open-minded

scared but longing

doubtful but happy

cautious but hopeful.

A self imposed cloud blocks out your ray of sunshine...

distrust

confusion

isolation

hurtful

sad

This phenomenon poses a question:

Which is worse, being hurt or never having a chance to feel the sunshine?
