Chapter 69: quiet like the night sky

a journey in my own skinWords: 714

I am quiet like the night sky,

Still and soft, with secrets untold,

I watch the stars and wonder why

They sparkle and burn, so fierce, so bold.

In the silence, I find my space,

A world of thoughts, a quiet grace,

I may not speak, I may not roar,

But in the stillness, I want more.

Oh, how I love to shine,

Like a constellation, fierce, divine,

Though I am quiet, I glow inside,

A brilliance I no longer try to hide.

The night sky may be calm, serene,

But deep within, there's so much unseen,

I'll let my light out when it's time,

A quiet star that learns to climb.

I don't need the noise, the endless sound,

For I'm a spark that's always found,

I am quiet like the stars above,

But oh, do I love to shine, to love.
