Stars

Somewhere there’s a place where we don’t need to hide
Where we don’t separate out thoughts from
What’s outside.
Somewhere there’s a home where the broken
Sing about what’s yet to be spoken
In a language that no one but them understands.
What if the stars called out your name
Would you stay here
Stay the same
What if the sun eats the earth
Will you still wait to be yourself?
It’s like a bone in your throat
You don’t want it to denote
That you’re out of place
What keeps you bound to the ground
are the worries in your mind
Still you’re out of place
You say, One Day
You’ll run, but
Every step you take just keeps you living in repeat.
If you hide your passion
then what is left of you
are you still yourself?
If you dream of sunshine
But live underground
Bring yourself to light
Or stay asleep
What if the stars called out your name
Would you stay here
Stay the same
What if the sun eats the earth
Will you still wait to be yourself?
