Stars Are Made To Shine

By Vijay Samuel

For the countless of times,

It surpasses the hand or calendar,

I am not, depriving myself of love,

It's unavoidable, here, do you see?

From answering calls,

Without stuttering,

Or shaking hands,

Heart that races every time?

Going out of the door,

Without feeling anxious,

That maybe wishing the floor gave in,

Can save me from the horror,

Seeing your loved ones,

Trying to make conversation,

Without shutting them down,

To cut it short,

It's hard,

No one truly understand,

That trying to survive is actually,

Taking the blades to your throat,

And slowly slitting you up,

Don't be presumptuous,

That alikes are not trying,

They are and that is what I believe,

Stars are made to shine,

To give hope for the dying,

But no one is willing to hear,

The hardship they overcame to be like one, truly brightening,

Once they are you,

Feeling the universe too,

But as chance is as slim as the society's acceptance of few,

They made haven above away from the judgement of fools.
