Heat of The Summer

Sun shining bright through the window of my room, lulling me awake from my dream land; Causing me to overheat under my blankets as the air conditioner roars gently, trying to cool me back off as I lie there scrolling through my phone; Unprepared for what the day will bring, life gets harder in the summer; People tell me to get some sunshine to "help with my depression" but the sun mocks me with its happy, yellow glow; Summer is too hot and winter too cold, the air hurts my face and lungs; Trying to move elsewhere was an unsuccessful adventure, too far from those I love; Holding on to the dream land I came from, cooling off from the heat, I rise from my bed and prepare to battle the day; My struggle in my head is endless on these days, I want to be truly happy on my own.
