You Are The Sun
by Jennifer
Watching the world through a blacked-out window
You see no sun,
Yet people see light shining in your eyes,
You are the sun for others

Watching children play, wishing you were them,
You start to cry,
People see your child- like tears,
Yet nobody seems to care

Giving light to others,
You realize you’re alone
Your flame is burning brightly
Yet you still feel blind

But if you look deep into your heart, and open the window,
You realize,
You are the sun,
Your stars need your brightness,

And one day you will find the special star,
Which will add to your flame,
And you will burn brighter then ever,
Spreading joy and happiness for miles around.

This is a beautiful poem. Because sometimes you just don't know that you are a bright star for somebody and through this poem, it makes you realize the light you bring in other people's lives.

Carrie Ann
For a first poem, this particular one is quite good. I mean, of course the reason is because i relate to it. There is a friend, and older girl that is so enthusiastic, optimistic, and happy and generous and nice to everyone, no matter how you look, and it makes me feel great. She is on my mind everyday, and she doesnt know it. She is sort of my sun, but in a different way. Yet i still think that she has somke hurt behind her kind eyes. So this poem explains it all. Good job.
Cami
This poem tells it all. Not many people realize that they are the sun in people's lives and it takes a lot to get to that point, but remember that no matter what just remember to simle, because even though you might be having a bad day, your smile can me the sunshine in someone else's life!
chelenia

BEE
I absolutely love your poem,it's fantastic. I love the way you wrote it because it relates to me. Especially when you have a disease, like I do, when your only a 16 year old girl with Juvenile Rhuematoid Arthritis. It's awsome to know that other people who don't have JRA feel this way too. Keep up the excellent work!
Alisa
