STARS


I stare at the ceiling  
I stare at the wall     
I stare at the stars    
I envy them all         
                        
So far away             
so bright and distant   
gone in the day         
but back in an instant  
                        
they feel no sadness    
they feel no jealousy   
they feel no loneliness 
they feel no empathy  , 
                        
they feel not crushed   
they feel not blue      
they feel no love       
as I for you            
                        
they have it easy       
they have it made       
and so I will join them,
be it forbade.
