Early in the morning i sit and stare.
in a matter of minutes the sun can break through,
the coldest, darkest, darkness.
nothing can keep it away, down, or even hidden.
what you see is what you get, it doesn't pretend, and is not fake.
And it always find a way to get up and shine through again.
It fights the cold away,
it even shines through the clouds on a stormy day.
There's no stopping it, an i just sit and stare at the beautiful sky,
through the noises and the hustle and bustle of everyday life,
i feel my heart slowly breaking to pieces, i hear the cries inside
myself crying for help.
I wish i can be as strong and powerful as the sun.
i wish i could easily overcome any obstacle and, break through the
thickest and most impossible barriers.
I wish i could just be free.
Just be me.
It's so amazing to just open your eyes and see what wonders are around you.
Don't take the little things in life for granted,
for it's the little things that usually matters the most...

Very uplifting but sad at the same time. This is a really good write and I sincerely enjoyed reading it. I agree with the message behind this poem completely. Too many people take life for granted. In fact, I used my appreciation for the sun as an example one time, of learning to appreciate what we have. Thank you for entering this contest and goodluck!
