Everyone romanticizes them.
Nobody talks about how they’re just fire pretending to be eternal.
I think they’re embarrassed-
all that burning,
all that distance,
just to be turned into a metaphor.
If I were a star,
I’d collapse on purpose,
just to make sure nobody called it beautiful.

Everyone romanticizes stars. A lot of the ones that we see in the sky are probably already burnt out and exploded. I think some don't want to be seen and some just can't live up to their title.

I agree that stars being used in metaphoric manners is an overplayed idea, however a star after it's collapse creates something arguably more beautiful, such as a nebula, all those swirling burning gases, isotopes constantly colliding, fusing, and emitting varying shades of light showing that even in death, after implosion and explosion, something can be beautiful, effervescent, but minimally fleeting as those gases and particles take a great many years to disperse, or as a black hole, giving us a point of infinite fascination in the cosmos, as if it were telling us that there's more to our universe than what we can observe from the orbit of our planet, both of the primary outcomes of a stars collapse(I would go on about White dwarfs, but this run on sentence have gone on for long enough) are wondrous and prime for use in prose if only people would take a look past their basic purviews of the cosmos or the rigidity of our observations thereof
