Dear moonchild, If you are reading this You know about the sun How its rays mean it's our time to sleep Because we aren't the normal creatures of the Earth Sometimes they tell us That our smiles are menacing When we meet up at the in-betweens Dawn, and dusk I've only known a few day wakers They found me too profound My silvery skin And gray hair too much from them My smile brought tears My skin too real for them You see, moon child, You'll always be too different for the day wakers But it doesn't matter Because we sleep with the moon The natural state of the Earth In the forest With all of the other little creatures They thought too extreme Or not extreme enough for them We are never right But I think In their pink skin And brown hair They look like fools Their stupidity detracting away from their non-existence So moon child, Only rise when the moon is up And sleep when it is down We don't follow the rules Of the day waker's sun
