Beneath the stars we often stand,
Yet I feel so far from where you are.
Your light is bright, a beacon grand,
While I am just a flickering scar.

I strive to match your vibrant glow,
But shadows seem to hold me tight.
In your presence, I ebb and flow,
Never reaching your endless height.

Your laughter is a symphony,
While my voice trembles, unsure and weak.
You soar above, so effortlessly,
As I search for words I cannot speak.

I wish to be enough for you,
Yet doubts surround my every thought.
In your eyes, I see skies so blue,
While I am lost, feeling overwrought.
