Your Unplugged Light
I’m here, observing you from afar
Watching you twinkle
So bright that it makes my eyes ache
In a good way.
I could never see a bad side of you,
A weak side of you
A sad side of you.
Only the strong side,
The beautiful side,
The dazzling side.
You’re somewhere in the black sky
But you’re unplugged light
Shines the brightest.
You don’t need an outlet
Because you’re the light in the sky.
You’re the ball of fire
That’s never going to be tamed.
You have a clan of others like you,
A clan of multiple brothers and sisters
Aunts and uncles
Cousins,
But I can still find you in the chaos.
I’m here, watching you,
Watching you dance across the sky.
Watching you have the bravery and boldness
To be yourself.
I should be like you,
A star,
An unplugged light in the dark.

I wrote this poem when I was in Literacy, and we had to pick a topic. I chose the stars because we are like them in a way, all shining our own unplugged light making it through the chaos.
