The sun

I've been called the sun.

The idea is, the sun of the solar system.

The one my friends revolve around.

I did not give myself this title, nor do I want it.

I do not want to be the sun.

Maybe

I could learn to embrace it

With my circle

My sisterhood

Maybe I could learn that it doesn't just mean responsibility

But also me

I am a ball of fire

I know that

Maybe I could be the sun

The way I like it

And not the way they've all assigned to me

    "Again"

    "I know you can do better than that"

    Serious but

    You also love it

    Cornered

    I put my hands up

    Like you taught me

    Only now

    You're the one attacking

    "Helping" because

    You "just want me to feel better"

    And I braced for impact

  • Distracted and angry

    I'm distracted.

    Why did I let myself become so reliant

    Dependent

    So stupid

    Ugh I'm so mad.

    So mad.

    I let myself become distracted by silly things I could want

    I let myself want them
