The moon sits in silence, ever so cold. <br />So many feelings are left untold. <br />The mocking stars have deserted the moon. <br />Leaving it standing alone, at night and even noon. <br /> <br />And yet the moon remains so strong. <br />Bravely standing up all day long. <br />So fearless, mighty and beautifully bright. <br />Causing people to stand in 'awe' at the sight. <br /> <br />I wish I had the strength to stand so tall. <br />To never let my problems cause me to fall. <br />But my mind is confused, and simply aches. <br />This house brings me pain with every breath I take <br /> <br />Like the moon, those stars mock me as well. <br />Causing me to cry, crawling into my shell. <br />The stars so beautifully 'happy' and bright. <br />Cause me pain, my tears I am trying to fight. <br /> <br />Those stars are lucky, for they're up there <br />They're far from here, so they don't have to care <br />They don't feel imprisoned or feel like a screw up <br />They're always bright with happiness, to see this you just look up <br /> <br />I merely wish those beautiful stars would care. <br />Instead they leave me with a blank vacant stare. <br />The clouds just simply continue to roll on by. <br />While I just sit here in sadness and steadily cry. <br /> <br />Now I have so many tears invading my eyes. <br />Those stars mock me for they have no tears in there eyes <br />Because instead of helping, they mock me. <br />Imprisoning my mind, leaving no where to flee. <br /> <br />Why can't I always be happy like they are? <br />Being away from here, and up so amazingly far. <br />In this house, my mind, my heart, and my soul sadly cries <br />This house brings tears to these blue-green eyes<br /><br />Shelby Renee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mockery-from-the-stars/
