Stars

Itzel M

Stars glistening in the night
Oh so bright
To be those stars
But I am afar.


No one can see me
As I am farther than the deep sea
These stars shine
And oh, are so divine
They’re gorgeous


And I have no importance.
They have all the attention,
while I just look at the reflection
And oh to be those stars
That I see from afar.

    The thing here to see is about that no one can see. Is it a thing or a human? And if either, why is it that no one can see it, him or her?
    One needs to know this to judge the merit of the poem or to give it an adequate reading.
    Could you offer some explanation? It would clarify the poem.
