drew a shaky breath
inside I tremble
stand in front of my mirror
try to
accept the
news
concerning
everything about you

dare to move
I could not
show the pain
too dangerous
already hurt
never wanted to
choose
except I don’t have a choice

dazzling stars
I stare above
smiling
twinkling
as if telling me
not to give up
curse them
everything shines but me.
