Can I be the poem
and not the poet?
The admired and not the admirer?
The captured and not the capturer?
The written and not the writer?
The loved and not the lover?
Can I ?
for once in life
be the wish and not the wisher,
be the yearn and not the yearner.
I've lived as
the poet, the admirer,
the lover, the writer,
the wisher, the yearner.
But for once...
Can I be the moon,
and not the moonstruck?

- Comment from author about the poem: I\\\'m tired of being the one who always loves more, writes more, feels more. For once, I want to be the reason someone stays up writing poems at 2 AM. Is that too much to ask? Dedicated to all the poets who are secretly wishing to be the poem. 🌙

Ah now that's a fine thought and a fine expression of that desire. I can totally relate. Well done.
