gazing up at the sky,
the moon stares back at me
it’s there
forme
every night.
i talk to the moon
i whisper to the moon
i cry to the moon
i call out to the moon
the moon
does what
no one else can.
because
every night
when i gaze up
at the moon
and it stares
backat me,
it shines bright,
and reminds me
that
just like itself,
i am also whole,
all by myself.
