The Moon- an original poem
Finding the moon,
sounds easy right?
No, it’s not
You have the stars.
You look through them all,
searching, hoping, wishing
for the perfect one.
But know you’ve lost sight of what’s right in front of you
The moon.
Yes, my friend
The Moon.
The moon has always been there, easy to find
but you decided to search the stars instead
Searching for something perfect,
something,
that doesn’t exist.
Perfection doesn’t exist,
and neither does the perfect star
You don’t need to search the stars,
you found what you needed.
The moon!
But you were blinded,
searching for something that will never be.
People say finding the moon is easy.
They are wrong.
You get lost,
searching for perfection,
searching for the unreal.
While searching through all those stars,
looking for that perfect one,
we loose track of what’s real,
what’s right in front of us
The moon.
But you were too blinded by perfection
to notice it

This is an amazing poem. I love how there is a deeper meaning behind it and the repetition of how being perfect is unreal.
