This poem is a bit formal in nature, but I still think it fits the vibe. Just wanted to share! :)

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

— W. H. Auden

    Thanks, I will. I felt silly even saying the name because it was a very teenager like poem. But poetry seems like a wonderful way to express emotions, and with how hectic, disjointed the world is know I think we all bottle up so much.

    Take care Scaldart :)
