Moths – Written Tuesday 3rd March 2026 (Aged 51)

Moths

Share everything!
The limelight shines bright.
It is a curiosity —
that people —
who claim to be shy and introverted
share…
share everything!
As inner self
has been altered;
it’s no secret
that the limelight
shines bright,
and that humans —
can feel compelled to watch
by those,
those further
towards the light —
like ever‑eager moths.
Ones who gather up their wings
and know —
the limelight
shines so bright.
But sharing everything
must just be
an emotional response,
one lost
in an endless need.
Does nothing
reattach your dreams?
Share everything!
The limelight shines too bright —
but not those
who demanded to be watched;
for they head eagerly
towards the light,
like ever‑eager moths.
