Stars

"Moments when I'm burying my power in the sand. Watching as I suppress my passion, and control my light. I would look in the mirror, and face it...but I'm too busy apologizing for being Me.

Don't look them in the eyes too long.
They might find you too intense.
Rolling winds lead to fires, so I look away.
Coy is better.

He said you would be nothing forever.
So don't stand in what you've always known. Oceans run deep in ancient waters.
Play it down.
Shallow is better.

The distant cries of the departed ones, calling me to stand strong in the night.
As I start to rise up, I fall into definite madness. 
While my heart beats toward home inside of me.
Earthen and soul, roots in the soil.
I am endless as the stars.
I am Me.
Nothing's better."
