Dead Stars
Outside the stars are shining
all twinkling and bright
I'm like the stars
I give off great light
But deep inside where
passion's held
and truth succumbs to lies
I curl up in my little world
and force out that ugly light
Who needs light when darkness soars
and chaos always seems to win
who needs to be forever
if forever is a sin
I watch those stars
with sickening silence
and let out all my rage
in sacred violence
And far beyond the universe
where shining stars lie
some of them deceive the eye
for long age, untold to us
those shining stars-
they died.
Most impressive use of the metaphor!

Outside the stars are shining

I'm like the stars
I give off great light
--- so great! A perfect beginning to a nearly flawless poem!
And far beyond the universe
where shining stars lie
some of them deceive the eye
for long age, untold to us
those shining stars-
they died.
--- YAY! I was so happy with your choice of the ending.
It's perfect.
