the moon
The other night I saw the skinniest little sliver of a crescent moon that I've ever seen. It was absolutely beautiful. You could see the "earth shadow" too. Being in a philosophical mood I started to think about how I'm like a crescent moon. And not just me, but a lot of people. I have a hard time revealing things about myself. I have this personality build up around me and I just hide behind it. I wish I could let more people truly know me. Sometimes I remember what I was like when I was little, so free and easygoing -- it seems strange but I wish I could go back to doing things without thinking them through first. I agonize over everything and that paralyzes me. So like the moom hides behind the earth's shadow, I hide behind the person everyone thinks I am. When's the full moon?
