Stars

We all have stars within us

Some nights they shine

And some nights they collide.

We marvel at the beauty of the brightest

And sometimes forget

That stars shine brightest

When they are about to collapse.

Sometimes we don't realise

When a star fades into darkness.

They are still there

But trapped in a world of inky solitude,

Waiting for someone to notice their absence.

But too engulfed in blackness

To realise when someone does.

Yet the light people see from them

Is still travelling and being seen

Even after it dies,

It hears the wishes of children,

Sees the smiles,

Appreciates every single look it gets.

Knowing that even when it isn't useful

And has no purpose

It still sparks joy

And brightens up someone's day.

You may think it weird

For being so happy,

Whilst being held captive by darkness.

You may say that it is weird

For being so happy

When it is no longer the star of the show.

But it is still a star,

At heart and in soul.

You may say that if the eyes

Are the windows to the soul,

Then it is seeing stars.

But the stars in our eyes

Do not cloud our vision.

They just provide us

With a new perspective.

A.N. Honestly, if I'm being honest, I honestly have no clue tbh what I am honestly doing, honestly, to be honest, if I'm really being honest.
