Here's my take on Man's journey to the previously untouched moon, while recounting just a bit of human nature.

Shining brightly silver moon
From a crescent to full bloom
Up above the Earth so high
Like a lonely seeing eye

There was a dream all men shared
To stand on you and look back here
All through the ages that we dreamt
Till *god took us, so we went

Wars and battles you saw all
Life and death with no recall
But still you shine on with hope
The kind that we do not deserve

All the things from up there
And what we disregard down here
Sea of blue and brown patches
Filled with the mess of progress

Stepping off-world was a dream
Uniting the divided
Scars left by meteorites
Now joined by rubber soled prints

"I've made a mistake" is something I'll say
Which would be quite often, almost every day
About silly little things that don't mean much
And really big things that cause a lot of fuss

Forgetting a book and even a test
Or not remembering when you confessed
Not taking out the trash at the end of the day
That leaves this strong smell that just won't go away

Arguing with my best friend, losing them at the end
A relationship that could take many years to mend
Even making new enemies at every right turn
After acting without thought or any concern

The things I've said, the acts I've done

Thick grey clouds float in the sky
Casting dark shadows over my life
The wind picks up and begins to blow
All of my problems that won't let go

Nothing ever goes according to plan
Then the rain falls over the land
Trying hard to make things well
As drains and rivers begin to swell

A torrential downpour is what this be
With zero visibility in front of me
How did I get myself here into thee?
Ignored the signs I did foolishly

Can I pretend to be brave in this storm?
By sitting in the eye all safe and warm.
Or I can go out timid and afraid
The only way of ending my own masquerade.

Author's Notes.

A couple people have asked me about line 5.
*bare, line 5, what I have done here is introduce a type of dual meaning as in to expose the feeling of writer's block for the world to see and this word can also be replaced with "bear" as in coping with the difficulty of the writer's block.

*growing a tree, line 20, refers to the length of time and patience needed for a tree to grow as tied with the meaning of line 32

*we, line 32 refers to all Writer's, artists and creators.

When your pen hits the paper and nothing comes out
With a full cartridge, something's about.
Sitting there lonely staring off into space
You've got Writer's Block mate, it's a terrible case

The symptoms are some of the worse things to *bare
If left untreated, might as well say a prayer.
Diagnosing the problem is the first step to take
So let's get it started before it's too late.

Or watching TV late at night till you cough?

Had an envious twin known as strife.

As dull as it is; to this day I'll still be reminiscing,
