You are the sun bright in day, Shining over me from dawn until dusk. Being easily amused by the things That I can only smirk at. Your thoughts and ideas Glisten and cascade In the many things you accomplish. Mine shimmer and sparkle in a darker presence Of the accomplishments I am proud of. You always seem so happy, I always look so sad. Having a full and complete grasp of your lectures, While I am constantly misunderstood if understood at all. I am the moon dark in the night. When my time comes to shine you are gone. And I play my guitar with barbed wire strings, And pay for the memories that I have captured.
