When I Was a Star
February 18, 2022
When I was a star
I had light
And life
An innocent existence
When I was a star
I had stillness
And quiet
A peaceful persistence
When I was a star
There was no pain
No hate
No blurry confusion
But when I was a star
There was no love
No laughter
No you.

Clarification: "star" in this poem means "star in outer space," not "star of the show."
