Twinkle

"Twinkle"

I just start crying, I don't know why,
But then comes a twinkling, sad star in my eye.
I just wish I could shine so bright,
But instead I am covered in night.

A twinkle is there, enhanced by the tears,
That reminds me of the little girl I used to be...
But suddenly, my vision is smeared by tears and its so hard to see
Why in this sadness, I can't believe.

I used to love dancing, it didn't matter,
I just wanted to shine, but now it seems dim,
And I don't even know anymore...
If I'll ever find "him."

Sometimes I feel full of life, happy and bright
Like the gaudiest of all stars;
Others all I see is sadness
Among the bright stars in my eyes.
