The Moon and the Star

There was once a star who had no home Though she was in the sky with other stars she felt all alone She was different from them her light was not so bright The other stars cast her out she was scared to fight To make them see she belonged in their sky That’s why she was up so high She was special like them why can’t they see That inside of her was a strong aura yearning to be free But the more she tried the father away they stayed The star ran out of ideas and gave up there was no winning this game She was different and there was nothing more she could do She decided she would do them a favor this she would see through Go into supernova and be gone from that lonely place Nothing would be left not even a trace As she got far enough so not to hurt the others something flew by A moon so far out here was a sight for soar eyes She approached it and asked why he was here The other moons hate me because I’m smaller they made that clear So I ran over here to escape I feel so alone and then moon drops feel from him like a lake The star felt sad for the moon so she went in for a hug As soon as she came close she lit up and felt a rush of love The star had never felt this before Something powerful had began to occur like a storm You did it she said to the moon I’m brighter then I can be As she turned to the moon she saw he was smiling like a beautiful dream I’m not small any more I can’t believe this is happening The moon and star had made each other strong they were now laughing From that day they never left each other’s side There was no need to run and hide Sometimes in life it takes another to make you see And together they can bring out each other’s best qualities
