O' moon,

You're the only one who listens to me

Without getting bored,

The one I feel peace with.

Your light makes me feel like

I'm glowing like you too,

Or gives me hope that someday

I'll glow too.

You're so beautiful even though

You have your spots and phases,

Where you change and disappear

From time to time.

Never once do you stop

Emitting your light to me

And helping me exist

With your presence.

Even if not visible,

Your light gives me

The comfort to embrace

My wounds and calm my chaos,

Providing warmth to my cold and dying heart,

Making me smile

Through my stream of tears

Flowing under your light.

Under the sky,

You and me—a bond meant to be.

O' moon, you're my light, my soul,

My safe place.

Even when I'm going through a

Dark day, your appearance makes

Me feel at ease and makes me thank

Having you by my side, following me

Everywhere I go through the night.

O' moon, how much I love

Gazing at you all night. While

Everyone sees my scars and makes

Me feel unworthy,

You give me hope and courage to be kind,

To live and show it's okay to have scars and still glow.
