Starlight

Another great write from you - well done. Glad to see it nominated!

Your poems resonate with me so much. I can't tell you enough how I love reading your poems and feeling understood in a way. The connection with the stars here was well done, simple in the moment shared, and the reality of how we can isolate ourselves. I have done this so often, especially recently, where it didn't even occur to me how much I actually needed help. I just kept thinking I could do it on my own, and as you mention, the weight of feeling like a burden or how we would be perceived can be overbearing. Thanks for sharing this.
