Moonlight Solace
We’ve been the midnight rain for too long,
washing everyone else’s dust
until we forgot
how to be the quiet moon,
glowing only for ourselves
Returning to the light is simply
letting the clouds break
Calm the noise
Feel your own rhythm

I've been thinking about the people who passed through my life.
Not with anger. Not with longing.
Just honestly.
Trying to understand why some of them
still live rent-free in my chest,
while others have faded into something
I can barely remember.
I finally understand

to perform, not to grow.
get good grades.
look successful,
seem like you have it together.
so we became really good
at looking like we're improving.
while quietly staying the same.
