The Fourth will Always be with Me

When you told me how you liked me to dress, I obeyed.
When you didn't acknowledge my inner beauty, I felt ugly. 
When you told me my dreams were unrealistic, I woke up.
                                                                                                    Did you ever stop to think maybe you were being unrealistic?
Fourths are when I remember warmth.
It was the type of warmth that led to an unexpected sunburn.
I can still feel my skin healing from the beautiful, yet damaging rays.
Fourths will always make me smile.
Fourths will also send chills down my spine and remind me:
Wear sunscreen every day.
