Poem: Celestial Solitude

A star shines defiantly in the desolate sky, Yet it beckons me when my eyes embrace the dark; in the silent realm where rejection thrives, It gazes back at me, a lonely spark.

Its brilliance punctuates the somber night, A star, a symbol of societal disdain, Shunned by friends and family, an unheard plight; amidst the fading lights, loneliness remains.

Mocked as “ewwww,” “ugly,” “crazy,” “stupid” they say,

But this star, unaware of its untamed beauty, guards me against the impending disarray, too high, like diamonds, in the sky unclaimed.

In the mystery of her celestial gaze, Does she hear my cries amid the cosmic hum? As I observe her in the nightly haze, She fades, beckoning for a hug to overcome.

A hug to rescue me from society’s snare.

The enigma in her eyes reflects my plea, Love from far beyond, a love so rare; she calls for an embrace to set me free.
