i can never beat the moon

oh how i envy the moon. 
the light in the darkness. 
the light i can never enjoy. 
the light i will never be.

oh how long it’s been. 
lost, trembling in the darkness. 
was the light ever real ?

i don’t understand. 
there is no light. 
not for me. 
it’s left me. 

it’s left me like…
like everyone else.
