You Are

You are light:
The emulation of sunrays,
Sunlight spilling into a dark room,
Headlights on a dim road,
Optimistic as a rainbow after a
Terrible storm.
And I,
Am everything but.
I am likened to a
Storm cloud,
A torrential downpour
Of emotions
And sorrow
And pain
And you are as
Bright as can be
A single ray of sunshine
In the midst of all the madness.


The author's comments:

All throughout life, we compare ourselves to others. We see others as so much greater and more accomplished than we are. We fail to remember that we shine just as brightly as the people surrounding us.
