Too Many Tears Not Enough Eyes

The Moon

Let them be as the sun

Always happy, bubbly, and light,

But hiding behind a smile.

I'd rather be as dark as the moon

Secretive, unforthcoming, yet free.

To have lit up the night skies

With my fellow stars,

And not hiding behind a breaking mask.

To be living as a mysterious, gloomy

Person, yet be happy with myself

While being looked upon

And smiled at.

I'd rather be feared at then ignored

Yet being the only one that can light up the night

Than be exposed, loved and adored,

But only comes out for a few hours a day to

Be picked at by certain greedy people

Who wont let them go away.

I'd rather let them see beyond just me

Than to block the view and just see me

If I could stand alone and independent

I'd rather be the moon.
