Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed by the masses.


1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 stars in the sky.
And they shine so bright.
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 stars in the sky.
Shining elegantly and beautifully.
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 stars in the sky.
They stand out in the midnight.
19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 stars in the sky.
As if to say "Look at me, Notice my beauty".
I could count forever if I had the time.
The stars are the only thing that occupy the sky.
Except I forgot about you.
The great Moon that shines so bright.
But you don't shine do you?
You reflect the light of the sun.
Just as I reflect the happiness of others.
Shining through the darkness.
But not of your own will.
It is the will of others that keep you going.
Because if the Sun did not support you.
And the stars did not stand with you.
Would you be here today?
Shining the way you are?
Not shining, but reflecting.
Gaining the confidence to shine on your own.
