For the Stars
For the dear and precious things up above
the little holes within the dark blanket named the night,
I adore you and hate you all at once
the admiration you recieve from earthlings
yet it feels only I resent you.
The brightness you reflect onto us from the night sky
so similar to that of light reflecting from a tear drop,
one of which from the very eye shone with admiration
yet again for you and you only.
The stars, you were named yet, you are simply an imprinted design
on a dark blanket covering our world, our light.
I despise you stars, for everything.
I despise you with my whole being.
I wish for the admiration in my loved ones eyes
to be aimed towards me and me only.
Why shall a small dot within the night
recieve the attention of the people I love.
I’m a hypocrite.
I claim I despise you
Hate you with my whole being
yet I too am so hypnotized
by your magnificent beauty.
Your beauty, love, and attention
that I strive, long, to have.
To the stars up above,
I wish to be as perfect as you.
For the stars in heaven,
do I wish nothing but for your exquisiteness
to remain and grow.
