The Sun Under The Stars

I feel different under the stars

Then I do in the sun


The sun

Warms my soul

And darkens my skin


Under the stars

My eyes glisten

And thoughts fill my mind


In the dark

the thoughts in my head

Run down my cheeks


In the sun

The thoughts in my head

Show up as freckles on my nose


In the sun I'm free


Under the stars, I’m a prisoner

And my thoughts are the cell

This poem is about how you can have an amazing day but then when you come home and go to bed you overthink everything, and it can be sad.
