Analysis of Standing Out



There are many people in this world
All blended together like one giant melting pot
Usually there is one that stands out though
The night sky is very similar to the world
Having many stars in the sky
So close and cluttered
As many stars above the heavens there are
There is always one that shines above the rest
It is the same with people
Given there were a crowd
You would shine through moving gracefully down the street
So exquisite and elegant that you are
You are that shinning bright star
