PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am tired.

Tired of always living in your shadow.

Tired of only being noticed when I'm at my largest

or when I'm not there at all.

Tired of living in a galaxy that doesn't understand.

Tired of shielding you from missles thrown your way.

And I know you don't even know what I'm talking about.

What missles?

We live in a meteor-belt of intolerence.

Jesus said those without sin cast the first stone

and here I stand crater-faced.

I'm tired of seeing the way your eyelids

push back the water when I have my only pull on you.

I'm tired of being your satellite lover.

I wanna have galaxy front property on the shores of Pluto.

I don't care if the rates are higher because he's not a planet anymore.

At least he knows how to treat his moons.

At least he says to them "If you can't be a planet with me,

I'll just be a moon with you."

Dear Earth,

I am tired.

Sincerely, Moon.
