She emerged from nothingness
Not a soul knew of her
But she had lofty dreams
And the need to get noticed
She hobnobbed with the famous
But how long could she shine on borrowed feathers?
She needed her own radiance; her own glamor quotient
So, she clandestinely began to steal what was another's
Nonchalantly, at first
But once people noticed her, she didn't care where the shine came from
In the day she hid for the fear of being found out
She shone the brightest in the nebulous dark
The eyes of the universe upon her
When the cosmic media pointed fingers at her
She would shy away and hide till no one saw her
And then re-emerge when the buzz had died down
She had the big blue orb's blessings
But to this day, the sun still feels cheated
They say he spews fire in anger at her mention
"Thief!", he shrieks, "you stole my sparkle!"
