I removed my protective coat
Its fabric weighted me down
Held me from believing that I’d ever be free
unbound to live breath and see
View the world that lived outside of where I’d always be
The moment the clouds uncovered the sun
I drank the power of its rays
The strength ran through my veins
It tossed the garment with no refrain
Revealing my naked vulnerability
The warmth of the sun fed my soul
Gave me visions of my dreams
Filled my heart with comfort and ease
I felt the chill upon my back
Trying to ignore its painful tower
A drop of rain I felt it too
The clouds began to cool
The rays were now so few
No longer does the sun illuminate for me
My protective coat has lost its seam
Standing naked revealing the scars
Etched by heat from the yellow star
