Was I a burning flame in the sky? What am I now? Now I’m struggling on the ground, struggling to lift my gaze upwards, to call for my sisters, and my chest is pained by the distance between us. Now my flesh bleeds in shades of red and my bones crack from gravity’s pressure. Now the only star dust is in my eyes, and it’s blurring my sight, and it’s making me cry.
Was I a burning flame in the sky? So what if I was? Now I am only human, so sensitive to pain, so fragile, so destructible.
