if i can't be a flower
can i atleast be a star?
one so bright
i could shine hope into the eyes of others
and provide them with a comfort
i cannot give to myself
i would be alone
and i eventually would collapse
but it would be beautiful
i would be beautiful
and you would all look at me
one last time
as i fade away
but if can't be a star
what will you let me be?
you will force me to be mortal?
to cause nothing but pain to those around me
disappointment
anger
frustration
i cannot give others light
i cannot shine them with hope
you have robbed me of that
when you made me this way
i am not a star
and if i were
i'd be a dwarf.
small
and dim
and useless
you made me this way
into a dwarf star
why?
why can't i be like the sun?
like arcturus?
like sirius?
they're all so bright
so beautiful
when people look at them
they are fascinated
and given hope
when people see me
they are disappointed
so why
if not a flower
couldn't i have been a star?
why
why am i so dim?
nothing beautiful will be created when i collapse.
why
why couldn't you make me a star
one so beautiful and bright
that i made others fear me
but appreciate my beauty
why is it
that when i collapse
all i will form
is an empty
dark hole
a void
i'd rather be a flower
but no
i can't even be useful in such a way
i am useless.
that is for a fact.
i serve no purpose.
i am not like the stars.
i am not like the flowers.
the trees.
