The Stars' Insecurities

I wonder if the stars get intimidated and feel insignificant

Wondering sometimes if their small brightness can't even compare to the vast mass of black putting out around them

I wonder sometimes if the stars know they're beautiful or if they chase the beauty of the darkness hoping one day to fit in and not add illumination

How embarrassing to glow so brightly while we re trying to achieve a type of uniform

Maybe that's why they become dull and burn out eventually

Maybe we see them as dying but they see it as finally living

Maybe just like them we don't realize that out differences are what makes us beautifully different

Maybe they see flaw and we see awe

Maybe we are insecure stars changing ourselves to match those around us

Maybe just like them we can't see the beauty only the uniformity that surrounds us

 Maybe they look down at a sea of white skinny blondes with puppies and pray that the dark curvy dots with coarse don't become the uniformity of the Earth itself

Maybe the entire universe is beautiful but maybe that beauty lies in distinction
