Secrets and Stars
Stars know the secrets that I bury
in daylight
seeping through their cages at
midnight
theyβre stardust now
scattered across the night sky
all the words I swallowed down so deep
afraid to ever give them a voice
and I finally see that they are not dark
and shameful
but beautiful
so thank you, stars
for taking the darkest parts of my soul
and giving them light
giving them a space in the infinite sky
for allowing me to see that I need not hold words in my throat till they burn
they can burn bright in the sky
instead
