wisdom of the moon
Feeling quite inadequate
I hung my head in shame
I started out to seek advice
Wondering if any hope remained
The night was dark and still
The sky was clear and crisp
My voice broke with guilt
a tear rolled across my lip
How can i be strong
My heart is oh so broken
Im the one they depend on
But I’m drowning in emotion
What if I’m not the person
That they need me to be
I am no longer certain
Im fit to be the lead
I held my breath and
Waited for my message
And what i heard next
Wasnt what i expected
the moon spoke into my soul
“My child, you are mistaken.
You do not need to be whole
Thats an unrealistic expectation
Worries undoubtably take a toll
But if you choose to shine
And do so with all your heart
I promise that you’ll find
You’ll still illuminate the dark”
