The Sun

As I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, watching the fan turn slowly, all I can think about is the dark, the cold, the deafening noise of the silence. 

The words do not have to be spoken for me to hear them, the ridiculing. The hatred. 

But as the sun rises, light floods the room, the silence is replaced by the chirping of the birds and the slight rustling of leaves as the breeze passes by, and the suns warm hug gets rid of the cold that resided there. 

And suddenly, as if someone flicked a switch, I no longer feel the hatred coursing through me, all because the sun passed by.
