Leila Hadi - In Expanses

This parable learned the hard way is daunting
In a life lived solitary lonely and wanting
But this is what I get for trying to trap a star
Let down, scarred..any effort fools and mars
The balance of things was too upset
And the other stargazers couldn't forget
The pressure quickly became unstable
It’s like searching for the truth in a fable
You may think you know who a person is
But blinding is the star that you burden like this
It’s bound to become an illusion of what you wish it could be
When you do good you should throw it in the sea
In morals the sad man must become well versed
Never drink poison to quench a thirst
