she's a shy little
star
who only peaks at night
one eye open to all the people who look at her
soar among her
close their eyes and wish upon her
her heart twinkles with every beat
and sometimes she gets the nerve
to flutter among the midnight blanket
and crash on the other side
she's a shy little star
that burns with a passion
and glows when people exclaim, "isn't it
beautiful?"
because even though she denies it
she still likes compliments
