i will sit outside in the dark
and tell myself
with words directed at the half moon
to survive
and think
about who i am
and who i wish to be
and i will see a shooting star
dance across the clouded sky
and illuminate the darkness
for only a moment
and it will be enough

I have enjoyed reading some of your poems and really enjoy this one. nice work
This was quite simply supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, I canβt imagine an even more perfect way to be content than how you put it (a shooting star will dance along the clouded sky for only a moment and it will be enough)

We are all entitled to our moments, and more, because we try so hard. A lovely poem, Angela.
