Waiting For the Sun

I look to the sky
And pray from inside
And every time 
I stand to feel the sunlight
I stand still without a ray
To glow the dark place
I am always in.

I wait all along the time
Believing that the ray may come
When the sun may shine
And wash away all the dirt
And the sadness.

But the long wait ends in an agony
Of an infinite expectation.
And do you know, though
I live in place where 
The sunshine had ceased to light
It's been a long time;
People all around
Are unexpectedly living happier
More when the sun was here.

People here stopped believing 
Of the sunshine spring tale,
Of the planet of the sun.
 
I am the only one still waiting.
A blessing or a curse
Upon this anticipating soul
This I do no know.
