A Cool Moonlight

I am a child of the night.
I wonder what it must feel like to dance in the sunlight.
I know what it’s like to dance in the moonlight.
I hear the creatures of the night roam the Earth.
I see the mushrooms glow in the dark.
I am a moon girl.

I pretend to be a fairy and fly off the ground.
I dream to be like most people.
I want to be nine and a superhero.
I feel the items in my sun bag.
I worry that my sun bag will never be filled.
I am under a cool moonlight.

I understand loneliness.
I have felt the sun burn my skin.
I cry knowing that I have forgotten how the sun feels.
I try to be brave.
I hope to walk in the sun someday.
I am a child of the night.
