With so much on your mind

It seems as if you are in a bog

Of your thoughts

The only thing you can do

Is look up at the night sky

To see 2 stars that somehow shine

Through the light pollution

You skip over the thought

Of how far they are from me

And ask the question

How far away are those stars from each other

Then all your thoughts come into perspective

Stars are a reflection of me

How far am I

From everyone else

I am distant and withdrawn

But somehow seem to shine light

Through the artificial

Those about me recognize me

And they appreciate me when they see me

But I feel alone,

A beacon in the abyss…

…Forever wanting to be closer

To someone else’s light
