A gloomy star amidst the starry night.
It twinkled upon the world;
Overtaken by woes and plight.
Shining on the surface,
With quivering insides.
It was a gloomy star amidst the starry night.

It stretched itself,
Beyond it\’s might.
Yet there was a lack,
Of what he could not fight.
The fear itself,
Had manifested it\’s fright.
It was a gloomy star amidst the starry night.

Out there shone the oval,
Of bulk so light.
Spread around were dots,
A splendid shimmering site.
Yet the star could not reflect,
All the splendor and the pride.
For it was still
A gloomy star amidst the starry night.
