Marugu Mo Poet Free verse

I Crave The Light You Bring Everyday

Do not be envious of the water that waters another's yard
The grass is always greener, and a reason for their trivial mirth
Remember the green grows from dirt

We are all victims of light, Polaroid
2D snapshot moments, they are no full picture
You fret over paper-images developed in darkness

There is nothing too big about you
That doesn't already have a place in this world
Except maybe your heart, its heaven sent

Fear not their jeering gestures and taunting sneers
They have not known the depth of you
Theirs is cleverly veiled pain crying out for acceptance

Who wouldn't want the sun for a smile?
And the twinkle of stars in their eyes?
I crave the light you bring everyday

Youv delivered a profound and powerful write that resonates and speaks volumes. Pleasure reading this Marugu Mo March 22, 2024 at 9:45 AM Thanks inky!

Your words seem to urge us to appreciate our own worth and shine brightly despite any shadows cast by others. This is an inspiring piece that celebrates individuality and the power of inner light. - Wonderful! - Blessings, Daniel Marugu Mo March 8, 2024 at 7:12 AM Thanks Daniel for your welcome comments
