Earth



I'm like the earth-
I take the strikes
I take it all
Filled with tears

Hot at the core,
Layers deep
Docile, asleep,
Shaking in pain

A hurricane, is my breath
And a tornado
is my exhale

And my volcano
is my fury
and my rage

And my mountains
Are a stage
for my winds to blow

For me to see the sky,
a canopy
I'm surrounded by space

The stars in their place,
I walk around the sun
Trying to get closer
To everyone

And the moon is my child,
And the clouds hold my tears

And I formed very fast,
In a couple billion years

And I'm rotating in slow motion,
And I'm moving with grace
Everyday
