The Radiant Stars
The stars were glistening at a far distant place,
But there i was, envious only in a good way towards them
Their gleams were so radiant, it was hard to see,
The things beyond; the atmosphere far apart
It almost seemed like the clapping of the crowd
In appreciation for the feat,
the stars had done
But what had been such that they had done?
For which there was nothing
save for the people's morale,
Was it something i had never tried?
Or was it something i failed to perform?
Had it been me, i would have done,
done them forever,
would have placed myself instead,
but i could never be their substitute,
For they shone the way i could never have
Could never have set an example,
i was of course so brought up short
for they had really inspired me alot
they shone their names before the people of the world
and hence they were known as the radiant stars!
She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers.
I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism.
I really hope none of you relate with any of these :)
I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can.
The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day.
