Cresent Moon

Kept it to myself

Knowing no one will listen or bother to hear me. 

My heart is so fragile it breaks at every emotion I feel. 

However, I don't need saving

I've been doing it all on my own from the beginning 

Even with the world on my shoulders

I've kept it together and ultimately have no choice. 

I don't utter emotional feelings anymore

It falls upon deaf ears

I write it down on paper so I don't have the words circling endlessly in my mind.

My mind is stronger than my heart sometimes as if I'm a shell. 

But somehow there is that bright crescent moon. 

I can't reach it but I do see it

In that one instance my smile doesn't seem so fake

But it is ever so shy

I actually see you though the corner of my eye. 

But I remain quiet 

It's not much but it gets me through

Ultimately, you have been hurt just as such

So I will feel selfish to utter anything too much. 

I'm nervous most of the time so I keep it to myself and I hide like a scared little girl afraid of the dark. 

However, with everything, I embrace the dark and walk alone trying to make it to something familiar.

Not missing a step but not stepping on any cracks.

Diverting to something else, a distraction as you will. 

I will admire from afar

A crescent moon attached to my name

And go about as if it is nothing.
