The Bright Lonely Star

by Natalie Sirhan

One day,

The star shined so brightly

It had a unique glow

A beautiful one

When it roamed the sky

But no one seemed to notice its light

Not even a bit

The star, so lonely

Made an effort 

To light up at night

Even during its challenging times

Though no one cared to see it, 

The star still shined 

But not for long

Until that one day came

The stars loneliness became energy of anger

It had dealt with enough pressure

Which had caused it to explode 

The decayed star

Was now emptiness

A black hole

It became nothing 

And that's when the others had realized

The mistake they had made

Of ignoring that poor star

And how it had impacted their life

But it was already too late

The poor star couldn't be saved
