This was such a motivational read. The star is the epitome of brightness and yet it is sadly unable to appreciate its own power. A deep metaphor that was treated beautifully here, it reminds me of those who give light to others inspite darkness looming within them. This is a very noble quality but not always good for those who posses it. They must be reminded of their light, their beauty and goodness. It also reminded me of a loved one who lost her life convinced there was no light in her though she was the brightest and best. A poem that speaks to the reader deeply and has beautiful wording, flow and rhyme.

I'm sure her family and loved ones are telling her how much she's loved and needed, everyday. She'll need constant assurance till she gets back her confidence and strength to fight the depression. I wish her all the very best in life and your family too.

This poem is a gentle and encouraging meditation on self-worth, written with a simplicity and grace that gives it a timeless quality. The repetition of *“Oh, little bright star / That shines so bright / Why can you not / See your own light”* adds a musical, lullaby-like rhythm that feels both comforting and tender.
Its tone and focus on natural imagery are reminiscent of William Blake and Sara Teasdale, poets who often celebrate beauty and purity with a sense of wonder. The poem’s consistent structure and soothing rhyme scheme make it almost chant-like, emphasizing its message of quiet reassurance. Through the star, the poem beautifully speaks to anyone who struggles to recognize their own brilliance, offering a reminder of inherent value and radiance.

i dont know why but these resonated with me so much, i mean, so many people around you feel insecure and less worthy of getting anything positive. you begin to think why is it that they you can see thier bright glow raditing form all corners, yet they fail to notice it??

I like this. Stars and candles only burn by consuming the fuel they need. Even the universe has a hierarchy of existence and the light of today pales before a brighter tomorrow. But tomorrow is not today and we must wait, we must endure, we must survive the night if we are to witness the dawn.
A very finely penned allegorical write. It is very rare for any human being to see their own light. Other people's inner light may be visible to them, but not so their own. We rarely acknowledge the power we have within ourselves, but marvel at the power we see in others. We seldom believe in our own strength but never fail to be amazed at the strength we perceive in others. We are made of the same 'stuff' as the stars, yet we see and revere their beauty, but do not concede to our own. Lovely poem and depiction. Thank you for sharing, dear poetess...
I know a few who struggle with self worth, lack of self esteem and no matter what said to them they will not or cannot change, quite sad. I will screen shot this to show to a friend if okay with you.
Good morning

And thank you for the kind review. Many who don’t see their worth struggle with depression or some form of mental illness and it is hard to see someone you love struggle with those things that make them feel so sad or unworthy

A poem that reads as a song. Motivational and inspirational for all those that do not see their own value such a great metaphor. Star light is small but still their and like us when added together with the light of others it makes a great difference. Very nicely worded and with such a nice flow.
Your poem was a pleasure to read. It effectively captures the metaphor of a bright star, prompting contemplation on self-recognition and inner radiance. It beautifully explores the journey of self-discovery and self-appreciation.
