Tearful Eyes
Think of yourself and
Yourself only
You become an
Empty shell
Make yourself your
Own star
And it shall
Refuse to shine
Allow yourself
Vanity
And it becomes your
Stumbling block
Keep not your dreams secluded
Allow them their
Freedom to be
Seat yourself upon an
Altar
And that altar will
Fall upon its knees
Before your
Tearful eyes
