*mockery From The Stars Poem by Shelby Renee

The moon sits in silence, ever so cold.
So many feelings are left untold.
The mocking stars have deserted the moon.
Leaving it standing alone, at night and even noon.

And yet the moon remains so strong.
Bravely standing up all day long.
So fearless, mighty and beautifully bright.
Causing people to stand in 'awe' at the sight.

I wish I had the strength to stand so tall.
To never let my problems cause me to fall.
But my mind is confused, and simply aches.
This house brings me pain with every breath I take

Like the moon, those stars mock me as well.
Causing me to cry, crawling into my shell.
The stars so beautifully 'happy' and bright.
Cause me pain, my tears I am trying to fight.

Those stars are lucky, for they're up there
They're far from here, so they don't have to care
They don't feel imprisoned or feel like a screw up
They're always bright with happiness, to see this you just look up

I merely wish those beautiful stars would care.
Instead they leave me with a blank vacant stare.
The clouds just simply continue to roll on by.
While I just sit here in sadness and steadily cry.

Now I have so many tears invading my eyes.
Those stars mock me for they have no tears in there eyes
Because instead of helping, they mock me.
Imprisoning my mind, leaving no where to flee.

Why can't I always be happy like they are?
Being away from here, and up so amazingly far.
In this house, my mind, my heart, and my soul sadly cries
This house brings tears to these blue-green eyes
