How does the crescent moon feel on a dark day

Trying to light up the world, trying to float above the vastness

Does she sometimes wait to feel full again, to feel like herself again

Not knowing that she has been complete all along?

Does she know that even on her weakest day, she means so much to the world?

How does the moon feel on the strange day

When the Scientist comes and tells her that she is 384,400 kms away from the earth

And that all the people she loves, can’t probably even come to meet her

Does she feel alone in the sky?

Not knowing that Lovers look up to her every night,

And that Poets have loved her beyond distance, have craved for just her sight.

And how will you feel when you realize

That you’ve been cheating yourself all this time

Telling yourself that you are weak, that it isn’t yet the time to shine

But maybe like the moon you are beautiful and bright

and that behind the happenings that change you every week

is a person like the moon, sometimes broken, but always complete.
