The stars are so loud
Tonight
They are a bustling crowd
Tonight
They glitter as they stare
Tonight
They pierce the very air
Tonight
Close your eyes, spying blanket
I wish to be outside.
I do not want to be observed
Yet I shall not hide.
They are not a shawl
Tonight
More like a dense wall
Tonight
They glare hard and shout
Tonight
They show hate and doubt
Tonight
Close your eyes, prying peepholes
I wish to be outside.
I do not want observation
My pain is held inside.
