Moonlight Special

By Tamarra Today

Either the moon follows everyone, or it follows no one at all. It is a decision to believe or not believe. Self-belief is both a choice and a habit cultivated by time and adversity. Crafting resilience to continue believing in yourself, despite any opinions to the contrary, is a superpower.

She doesn't know she's a superhero. She knows she's special. Nobody told her she was special; she just decided she was because the moon follows her. God has two eyes and ALWAYS keeps one on her because she is important.

So, one day at school, a classmate asked her why she was special. She proudly replied that it was because of the moon, and the class laughed. The teacher explains that she's not special, the moon "moving" is an optical illusion, and the moon follows no one.

But even as the teacher said this, our superhero could see the moon watching through the window. On the way out of school, she tried to show them that there was the moon - like she said it would be. The moon followed the bus home, and no one looked except for her. She learns that no matter what people say, she knows she's special in her heart, and the moon still follows her.

The feeling of being special shows how she walks and carries herself. There will be moments when people try to test her "special," but she handles it gracefully because she can't let anyone take her "special." The only thing that has never made sense to her is why they won't look up and see proof that the moon follows them, too.
