I could admit I’m terrified

Or look away when our eyes meet

It's easy to avoid whats dignified

I avoid friction because I can't stand the heat

I'm in constant fear that I will melt

No, today I'll walk towards the sun

It bakes in a flurry of feelings I’ve never felt

A spectacle of flares dance before my eyes

Distracted by the light I stayed out too long

After I venture home I look in the mirror and realize

My skin is blistered but now I'm strong

Previously the sun was foe but now its friend

Now I walk outside and to my will the light shall bend

I now no longer yearn for night, hope the day will never end

Now fear lurks in the shadows

But by that time, hopefully

The sun will have a hand to lend
