I write
Not because I want to
But I have these words inside me.
That needs to come out.
The star looks so lonely up there
If it’s fair
It inspires so many
But never comes close to any.
At night we stare at each other
And I discover
Even it’s unfair
We can’t fight against the air.
The beautiful star afar
Loudly whispers to me
It’s enough to have your fair.
In order to shine brighter
Be a fighter!
And at the end
There it will happen
Something beyond physically
That never ends.
