The Starry Night

I am a Mars Morning
I am from a place without a smell
that gives a feeling of abundance.
I’m from the feeling of haste,
while watching others shine without me.
I am from the artist with creativity,
while others found him insane.
from a room that is overlooked,
without people wanting to know.
I’m from the unknown
without meaning or reason to shine.
I am from the food that is bland
that many have to deal with.
I am from a place out there in the universe
or from a place near the province.
I’m from the song of rhythm
that continues to persist like a dog wanting a treat.
I’m from those who don’t talk
that hide but can shine if you look closely.
I am from the safari
popping out like I was hiding in a hole.
I am from the moment of happiness,
knowing that something is going right.
I’m from a time where people did not like me,
particularly of my old self.
from the season fall
while colors burst with fireworks.
I’m from the taste of desperation,
of the want to be a piece.
I’m from the need to fly,
but the wish to be unnoticed by others
so then there are no chains to hold me back.
