• I feel like a star
    Who stumbles out of the sky.
    A falling star,
    Here for other’s enjoyment.
    They stare in awe at my beauty and grace as I fall,
    And don’t realize the pain that it causes me along the way.

    I want to shine

    They stare above them, expecting to see me.
    They expect me to be there for them
    And I’m not.
    I’ve hit the earth,
    And no longer am I in the beautiful heavens I once knew.

    Why can I not just shine?

    Why must there be pain?
    Why can I not just keep the beautiful life I once knew?
    I feel that I’ve fallen through the cracks-
    that send me to the earth,
    Where sadness is all around.
    In a society where people’s lives revolve around
    Other’s pain.
    So I ask myself.

    When will I shine again?
