We are all made of stardust.
Even the lonely & invisible, like you & I.

Only within the dark can stars shine brightly
Even brighter than the sun.
We can shine so bright it blinds,
It is then that others insist you are a shadow

They are merely star struck.
Unknowingly in awe.

So shed your tears for the blinded. The unaware.
Not for the darkness you have been told you emit.

What a nice poem! The photo manip is great too, but I love the feel of this poem. I rather like the idea of being so bright that people see you as dark...I mean, not me precisely, I don't think I am, but the you & the I. I was really pretty.

Glad you like it....it was inspired by some friends I had at the time (I now avoid them like the plague!!).
They were the sort to try & bring you down when you where soaring, instead of being happy for you. Jealousy is a pain in the ass!

Also I had read somewhere that stars are largely made of carbon, just like us. I just love the idea that we have geniune similarities to the stars..... :)
