THE SUN AND THEM
Hello dear readers! Happy Holidays to all the gulf babies like me. Finally school has closed and because of that, I miss my friends and meeting them everyday. This piece is dedicated to all my friends that impacted me and still do. I decided to add a little twist by expressing it in a new perspective. -- Mercury As small as you are, you played the foundation for me to make friendships. You were the first one to teach me that there was more to see than just the surface and I came to see that you weren’t the only planet in the solar system. Just the first and the one that burned out the quickest. Venus You are so full of love, yet I can see the pain you hide inside. I am so sorry that you don’t get the love you give. People treat you so selfishly. But you made me appreciate affection because that is after all what attracted me to you. Earth Thank you for keeping me sane and humane in this chaotic life story. You are a blessing and the most down-to-earth friend...
