Older Poems I always felt
I had to be better
Brighter by far
Than all the rest.
For my name
simply means
The moon who outshines
The stars.
I had to stand out,
Be the biggest in the sky.
And I wonder now, why?
For my namesake
But of course,
Why else would I do it?
I’m naturally shy,
No question to it.
‘Of the Woods’
says my last name,
And I think it more fitting.
Hiding inside
Watching from the shadows;
Now that sounds
More like me.
I wish to be
The belle of the ball
But truly I don’t
Want to be noticed at all.
