Khepri Luna - Shine Brighter

LunaaaaYeahThis is how it really happenedI was sad that nightMy chest felt heavyAnd my thoughts kept running in circlesSo I grabbed my coatStepped outsideAnd started walkingNo phoneNo musicJust me, the street, and the moonI didn’t know where I was goingI just needed space to breatheTo let everything I was holding inFinally come outThe more I walkedThe more my feelings came upI tried to stay calmBut my body knew it needed to let goI cried until my eyes felt tiredAnd my mind felt a little lighterAnd when the tears were goneI looked up at the moon and whisperedIf they can’t handle my lightI’ll shine brighterI cried until my heart stopped hurtingUntil the pressure in my chest fadedAnd in that quiet moment I realizedI don’t need to shrinkI just need to shine brighterI thought about the peopleWho told me I was too muchToo emotionalToo deepToo honestAnd for a long timeI believed themI tried to hide parts of myselfSo I wouldn’t make anyone uncomfortableBut walking under that moonI finally saw the truthI wasn’t too muchThey were just not readyFor someone who feels deeplyThe moon kept shiningSteady and gentleAnd I realizedThe moon never lowers its lightFor anyoneI cried until my eyes felt tiredAnd my mind felt a little lighterAnd when the tears were goneI looked up at the moon and whisperedIf they can’t handle my lightI’ll shine brighterI cried until my heart stopped hurtingUntil the pressure in my chest fadedAnd in that quiet moment I realizedI don’t need to shrinkI just need to shine brighterThat night didn’t break meIt helped me understand myselfMy feelings weren’t wrongMy heart wasn’t weakI was just trying to fit into placesThat didn’t deserve meI wasn’t too brightI was finally learning who I amI cried until my heart felt openUntil I felt strong againAnd when the world felt quietI whispered one last timeIf they can’t handle my lightI’ll shine brighterShine brighterShine brighterLuna learned to shine brighter
