I am fragile
I am light
I am beautiful and true
If you catch me while I fall
You can wish upon me
Just like a shooting star


I can be long or short
Or dark, or light
But one thing I can never be
Is in your range of sight

You move me
You shake me
You wash me
But you never seem to
Notice me

You cover me in black
You stretch me out
So other people can
Notice me
But you yourself
You never do
Even though
I am a part of you

I was writing my poetry collection, when all of a sudden an eyelash fell on my finger, this inspired me to write this poem
