Starshine

a poem

I don’t care what you think
I am in love with my self
My persona has some defects
And sometimes I present my shadow

I run away at the first sign of dismissal
Off to lick my wounds again
The truth is I like this pose
It is part of my character

Abandon ship
Or be abandoned

In this timeline
The way things are unfolding
Are perfectly natural
I sit by the seaside

Alone
And counting the stars

Knowing that
I am One
