Light

SheWasTheSun

Light as air

She rises

Light, like her hair

She hides behind disguises

 

Light is her heart

Bright are her eyes

Light, as she dances in the dark

Hides the secrets and the lies

 

Light is her weight

While she stares at the scale

Light, naked, and afraid

Locked in her personal jail

 

Light, it's overrated

Being liked, it's no fun

Light, she hates it

She can't compete with the sun

          I really enjoyed the twist you added at the end, where you learn that even though she is light, she does not love her light. It really resonated with me and was beautifully written.
