Sunlight

i want to bask in the sunlight,
let it soak in my hair, my cheeks, my lips,
turning my eyes a lighter shade of green.
the young warm wind whispering, 
“stay here”, 
 
but yet i sit here in the dark,
holding the curtains close with my fists. 
forcing myself in this darkness,
because who am i to deserve the sun 
when i am made shadowless.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
