They live with the stars like paparazzi, 
Courting the glitters, clutters, and flatterers of gold. 
Those who worshipped the fame and shame, 
will never discover this star of mine. 

This star shone, out of the corner of your eyes, 
with the modesty that radiates shards of lights, 
kindling the melting points of our numb souls. 


This star whose idea lingers like morning tea, 
winding down the esophagus of crude languages. 


This star whose belief flares the hard reality, 
filters out the saturation of the winter's beauty. 

This star whose faith remains like coming spring, 
brandishing the joy and wisdom we failed to see. 

This star is dull, never recognized 
by the prestige of science and illiteracy of popularity. 

This star trusts strayed ideals,
an outcast among the crowd. 
a talent to behold, 
a legend never told, 
a moral never sold.

I am common.
seemingly feminine
but shoulders strong
as barbed-wire.
like a chicken I am  
underdeveloped—my wings
weak and unable to
lift me into the air.
I am preoccupied
in self-identified war
with the 875 square foot
apartment and the pasta
that refuses to boil.
on my knees, I
crawl
reconciling rhyme
and reason for
suffering.
the world has gone awry,
I say to myself on an
afternoon bike ride
through wooded
pain, my face
a perfect plane for
scathing branches.
quick and easy blood
am I.
wretched and astonishing
is the rhetoric I
find in the hollow of
my rib.
I am common
but not so when
written by hand.

--this life is a fibre-
--entwined within wires of an universal software-

--these eyes are conditioned to see-
--the networks of automated screens-

--these ears were robotic-
--programmed to listen to social expectations-

--this nose will be an animation-
--sniffing through the scent of anonymity-

--this mouth is charged to repeat-
--the oil of toxic lies and false beliefs-

--this head was controlled by a circuit of words-
--with fillings of violence and screams-
--pursuing a future that never will be-
