Astronomy Quote by Gaolee
“I am a star. My jagged edges, sharp and piercing. My sides are just lies, acts I put up to keep them at bay. But on the inside, just darkness, just pain. A darkness that will swallow all hope. I don't let anyone near, for they too, will come to hate me. To be wary of my existence. And oh, how they shine so brightly, how I long to be like that, because yes, of course, I am a star, right? No, I am the exact opposite.”
