Sonnet 29 ~ I Miss You

Sonnet 29 ~ I Miss You

You are My Sunshine

Disgrace reflects from faces frowning upon me; my fate so uncertain.

My heart cries; my own inimitability, I am an outcast, I am so alone.

I reach to heaven with no reprise,

And look upon myself with dispraise, dwelling on ill-fated unknown,

Wishing there was something left to hope for, something to believe in,

Wishing I was more beautiful and that I had a friend to call mine own,

Wishing I was more successful and had more prospects,

Completely unhappy and indifferent with those things I enjoy most.

Yet, amongst drowning in self pity and surrendering to complete berating of thyself; I think of you,

And my heart begins to smile;

Like the sun awaking to shine upon the new day,

Rising from the depths of earth’s obscurity, extolling Godly light.

For when I think of you, and remember your sweet face and affable love,

I want for nothing more; and I wouldn’t trade that beauty—your love—for anything!
