A Thousand Suns.

By TheProphetUntold

+--+

I grew.

A thousand flowers
and held them close in my arms,
but never my heart.

...

I knew.

Of a thousand suns,
though I knew only the burn,
never the warmth.

We take ourselves for granted, at times, and never really appreciate what potential wonders we truly posses. Sometimes it takes continual reject --from any source-- to finally know where we truly stand with ourselves. Reading this has awoken something that's been sleeping deep inside of me... Thank youâ¤

Startling realizations taken in stride. I like the message and the brevity. Penned exceptionally well.
