You can strain your neck looking at the sky until you can no more, only then may you walk among the stars.

Who am I you ask?
Can you not see behind the mask
I wear it hiding lies
That flame from behind brown eyes
Who am I you seek?
The farthest of the weak
You ask to climb the tower
Of the hurt that seeks to devour
Who am I to me?
Who am I?
