Atticus


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.
