The Moon Is Just The Moon

They can say nasty things
about the moon
They can be mean to her
They can attack her
And she could scream it out
in the night because
of the unfairness
-but does it say anything
about the moon
or more about the eyes
that judge her

And the moon; she couldn’t say
or do anything more
she could hide herself
to not get hurt again
– but that would make her
invisible to the eyes that
appreciate her shine
in the dark, too
