To The Stars Above

To the stars above,
shining forever bright,
hanging in the darkened sky,
this poem for you I write.

I feel so utterly alone,
cause you're the only one who sees my tears,
giving me your soothing light,
like you've done for so many years.

Only in your light,
do I feel free to express my soul,
and for the moment I can abandon myself,
and my problems that will swallow me whole.

All the pressure, expectations, and stress,
that eclipse me during the day,
vanish when you grace the velvety sky,
with all the twinkles you display.

You gracefully lighten the load on my shoulders,
at least for another night,
by letting me express any emotion I chose,
from sorrow and anger to shear delight.

So when you start to fade,
into the sun's overpowering glow,
I gently pick myself back up,
and continue on with the show.

But when the stars grace the sky again,
it's the only time I ever feel real,
not the person I show to the world,
but the person I've tried hard to conceal.
