Unwanted
Sun
Boy-- wait for my cue
I can not take
Inconsequential drops of dew
Like tears that run
Down the face of a boy that claims to be the
Sun
The world does not revolve around a forgotten boy
You do not shine like the hot stone ground
You—Withered and dry, your self-proclaimed meaning is a lie
The glare doesn't want you to stick around
When you try so hard to conquer his pride and joy
Stop pretending you’re more than you are
The world does not revolve around a forgotten boy
Son
Light, drop your shades
Put up the certain and leave me alone
For once I wish not to be apart of your charades
Your glare is more harmful than what you think I have begun
Yet you stare at me since I called you
Son
