The bridge of my nose,
and my cheeks
burn from the left over sun.
My eyes are weary from,
the salt water,
and my muscles are exhausted
from running, surfing, laughing,
and playing in the sand.
The wind gushes outside,
and a door bangs close.
My brother sitting,
watching some show.
While I'm tired,
and the sunburn
on my back hurts against
the light summer shirt,
I am happy.
I have a headache,
no inspiration to write,
and yet, I am happy.
For the sunburn,
and aching feeling,
was caused of
laughter, joking around,
and enjoying life.
Now don't get me wrong,
Family can be a pain,
and their existence
sometimes feels like a
never ending sunburn,
or tiresome eyes,
yet you know,
that aching sunburn
was caused by laughter,
and some of the
purest form of enjoyment.
Even though I have a
sunburn on my cheeks,
and on the bridge of my nose,
I am happy.
