The Stars I See
They tell of the stars that burn,
beyond my gaze,
and all the galaxies
that churn on
paying no heed to me, and all my earthy plights.
But I don’t see
those blazing lights, for they shine beyond
my gaze, lightyears away.
For my problems are not weighted on
the scale that pertains to all of humanities issues,
but on my personal one, pertaining to the blip in time
I have experienced.
The whole point is that I don’t see every star,
the light pollution that is my years of life
is all i know
and know to feel.
