The Star Poem by Carla Nestoros

All the days i’ve wanted someone to say ‘Okay’
That tells me i’m ready to drift away.
The people have passed me and caused despair.
Time on the edge, looking down, i had to bear.
On the brink of sanity, Striving for life.
Everyone around trying to silence my strife.
Hands down, i have cheated death so far.
Oh to be looked up at, in the form of a star.
I’d shine down on the ones that ruined my days.
As they only deserve, my immortal praise.
And the ones i have loved, who’ve given me, shared with me.
Locked up secrets, I’ve knelt in the dark to see.
Were blessed to have day, But i tempt the night.
Days ending brightly, Moonlit delight.
The rain can dampen me, The wind can blow.
i’ll be fixed in the sky, and never let go
As I’m hidden in darkness, Sat in the sky.
I’ll forget every sin and every goodbye.
I’ll be forgiving, graceful and write those names
In the beauty of the sun’s ever glowing flames.
I’ll look down on earth, See i’ve come so far.
Oh to be look at, in the form of a star.
