Envious Moon
Destined for darkness
Everlasting it seems.
Clouding the world in hollow darkness.
Longing to devour a lantern brighter.
Infinitely envious while
pirating light.
Sequestered to the night with no audience.
Embracing the majesty of the day, even if for a moment.

I write fiction, poetry and occasional articles about interesting topics.
Finding interesting ways to write a poem or hide messages within them seems to be my main interesting in writing now, and it's been fun
Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Love the way this is written. Keep up the good work
I love your poem, "Sequestered to the night with no audience" is a great line!
The bards are turning over in their graves...new bards are making their lights dim. Beautiful. Congrats.

Congratulations 🎉🎉 for top story that was very interesting and important information
"Sequestered to the night with no audience." What a stunning line! Congrats on the top story!
I like how this piece explores the contrast between sun and moon, and how darkness temporarily takes the place of light in the day. Personifying makes these objects and concepts more alive, and “Longing to devour a lantern brighter.” is a wonderful piece of imagery Mohammed😊
