Words are not enough
Faces are not enough
Touches are not enough
Voices are not enough
The ways are not enough
Blades and bamboo
Sticks and bows
They’re not enough
Games played
Books read
Poems written
They’re not enough
Nothing is enough
Not today
I’m screaming and choking
Under calm façades
Stars don’t know they glow
Stars don’t know they fade
Stars don’t know they’re seen
Stars don’t know they’re hidden
One day we’ll all be stars again
But today I’m both
Nothing
And
Far too much
I’m waiting, waiting, waiting
To become something
Waiting
Holding my breath
Waiting
Waiting to become nothing
Waiting for the moment
Waiting
For time to fix this again
Or
Waiting
To return to stardust
