Work Text:

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

I wish to see that door ajar

Stuck in the confines 

practically at arm’s length

This little star 

begs for strength 

Distant stars shine so bright it hurts

Makes me wonder if I deserve hearth

 

I want to see what’s outside this door

But all I’ll probably find

is not for

me 


I’ll instead fly

across this void

Prove them wrong

and I’ll shine so bright

but how can light 

shine in this plight 

 

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

I wish to see that door ajar

My star is unique 

but too different to speak 

 

I stretch my legs

but I hit a wall

Why is this place so small?


Once I leave this abyss

the stars’ lights will devour me

A string of myself I can’t bear to see

Something so menial

makes me meaningless

 

Twinkle Twinkle my Little Star

I wish to see that door afar

Notes:

How strange it is to be anything at all
