Annabel

Our beauty never strays

Look upon her light;

She always has her ways

They watch in awe;

Her splendor sways

Blessed be by the moon;

Far below the surface you are

Tears meld into the already salty waters

The creatures watch in sadness

At their queen's silent cry

Far below the surface you are

Unable to see the ripples on the waters waves

Clouds crowd a starry night

The sky cries for you

Far below the surface you are

Blind to the light above

Covered by the darkness of the depths

The moon sings for you

By the stars above

Very truly yours,

Why can't I rest?

The screen so bright

Understand it

One million families

Troops

Not wanted

I see

Difficulties

Fear

Ever we revolve around it

A star

Breeding life, surrounding it

Sol

Revolves around you

Luna

I try to listen when people talk

When they speak of the turmoil

I try to talk when people ask

We have a conversation that doesn't last

They start to speak, and I start to listen

My mouth seals shut

Never something I did before,

Thinking to myself,

"Is my pain really that bad?

Others have it worse."

Staring at the ceiling,

It hurts

My head is pounding,

"No physical scars to show

The mental ones that have grown"

Staring at the ceiling,

Now I've done it,

And do nothing but cry,

The tears leave my eyes

Why do I try

In this dirty pig sty

With nothing but chai

Against the sky

Why oh why

Do the tears keep coming

While I am still humming
