I can only be seen in the dark
Never in the light
I can't be heard
But what if I want to be


Some people gaze at me for hours
Other's couldn't care less
Some people study me like a puzzle
It's those people I want to talk to


Some days I try to shine brighter
But all I get is a few more heads my direction
All I want to do is talk
To be heard


Maybe I'm too far
That's the problem
Perhaps I was never talking to begin with
Or no one wants to hear me


But I can't give up now
I'm too close
I can feel it
I just need to try harder


If I shine even brighter
Add a pinch of extra twinkle
Or grow a little bit bigger
Then I'll be heard


All I want to say
It that to those who truly see me
I see you too
I appreciate you
