The Moon Doesn't Know What's Good for It

the moon doesn't know what's good for it

sharing the night sky with all those stars 
and still feeling like it's on its own

isolation can happen anywhere
even in a crowd

loneliness has nothing to do with being alone
and everything to do with being afraid

the moon doesn't know what's good for it

spends time with werewolves
hoping it can learn how to change

bounces sunlight off its surface
hoping it can learn how to shine

orbits the earth
hoping it can learn to appreciate a routine
but boredom is eclipsing
darkness is familiar 
and familiarity is the death of growth

the moon doesn't know what's good for it 
but even if it did
it would probably keep doing the same things
