Khepri Luna - Shine Brighter
Lunaaaa
Yeah
This is how it really happened
I was sad that night
My chest felt heavy
And my thoughts kept running in circles
So I grabbed my coat
Stepped outside
And started walking
No phone
No music
Just me, the street, and the moon
I didn’t know where I was going
I just needed space to breathe
To let everything I was holding in
Finally come out
The more I walked
The more my feelings came up
I tried to stay calm
But my body knew it needed to let go
I cried until my eyes felt tired
And my mind felt a little lighter
And when the tears were gone
I looked up at the moon and whispered
If they can’t handle my light
I’ll shine brighter
I cried until my heart stopped hurting
Until the pressure in my chest faded
And in that quiet moment I realized
I don’t need to shrink
I just need to shine brighter
I thought about the people
Who told me I was too much
Too emotional
Too deep
Too honest
And for a long time
I believed them
I tried to hide parts of myself
So I wouldn’t make anyone uncomfortable
But walking under that moon
I finally saw the truth
I wasn’t too much
They were just not ready
For someone who feels deeply
The moon kept shining
Steady and gentle
And I realized
The moon never lowers its light
For anyone
I cried until my eyes felt tired
And my mind felt a little lighter
And when the tears were gone
I looked up at the moon and whispered
If they can’t handle my light
I’ll shine brighter
I cried until my heart stopped hurting
Until the pressure in my chest faded
And in that quiet moment I realized
I don’t need to shrink
I just need to shine brighter
That night didn’t break me
It helped me understand myself
My feelings weren’t wrong
My heart wasn’t weak
I was just trying to fit into places
That didn’t deserve me
I wasn’t too bright
I was finally learning who I am
I cried until my heart felt open
Until I felt strong again
And when the world felt quiet
I whispered one last time
If they can’t handle my light
I’ll shine brighter
Shine brighter
Shine brighter
Luna learned to shine brighter
