The Sunshine Thief

I remember as a child
Sunshine was
Everything.
I followed her around like a child would a mother
She was my being;
She filled me with happiness to the core.
I never felt the need to run away from anything
Because she never gave me anything to run from.
I swore I would follow her until
She couldn’t shine anymore.

And then Shadow came.
I was older,
Rebellious, and angry with the world.
Sunshine,
She couldn’t feel anger, or hate.
She only felt happiness.
Shadow showed me that there is a lot of things to run from.
He showed me all my problems that Sunshine hid from me.
I saw reasons to hate light; happiness; her.
I took to Shadow like a child would its father.
He protected me from Sunshine;
Making sure she didn’t corrupt my mind again.
I followed, and I ran.
Just like he said to do.
Run away until your problems stop following.
But I could only run so far.
My problems caught up with me in the end.

So now, I’m on the run from Shadow.
He’s become a problem I’m having difficulty to overcome.
He’s taken something precious from me.
He’s taken my light; happiness; Sunshine.
I figured out that
Sunshine showed me my problems,
But I was too happy and content to run.
I embraced them to a point where
I didn’t even know my problems were rushing at me like bulls.
She showed me that being happy was how to get through life.

I am the Sunshine Thief
And I’m taking back
What Shadow stole from me.
