Darkness brings out the beauty in some
While darkness also hides the beauty in some
I wonder if the stars get self-conscious during daylight
Till they finally get relieved when darkness falls
How gracious they must feel when humanity admires their beauty at night
And how empty they must feel when people ignore their existence during daytime
Or do they cherish their brief glory in the spotlight at night
And endure the day, knowing in just a few hours their time to shine would come?
While darkness also hides the beauty in some

How gracious they must feel when humanity admires their beauty at night
And how empty they must feel when people ignore their existence during daytime
Or do they cherish their brief glory in the spotlight at night
And endure the day, knowing in just a few hours their time to shine would come?
