Starry Chimera

I sit under the sky, and talk to myself, I want to be a star too, I tell myself. . . For I never burned this bright for the dark, For I never broke down for a new one to embark. . . I watered my own voracity, served my own pride, I forgot my purpose, as I bathed in my own shine. . . The star never burns to enliven its own being, The star never shines to foster its own realm. . . If I must burn, then it shall be for love, If I must shine, then it shall be for love. . . I will seek no greed when I burn to die, I will seek no yield when it's time to burn bright. . . For I will be a star, a burning star, A broken one, from a cluster of stars
