The stars smiled upon us, as

If they knew we’d soon join them,

But one soul in thousands, one

Only, and it won’t be me

Would join stars above us and

Shine brightly for eternity.

The truth caught inside me, is

That I’m afraid to shine so bright.

Used to cold darkness, I am

Wary of the warmth of light.

How many watch the stars a—

—bove us in the sky at night?

I watch stars and admire

The way they glisten above.

Comparably, I’m dull but

Matte is also what I love.

And if I shown, I’d hide behind

A star I would fall short of.

Don’t pity me, I’m happy

As I stand here on the ground,

Watching stars in the night sky

With the hopefuls standing round,

Being one of many lost

And of many never found.
