When do the Stars come out?
Who do they come out for?
A broken soul,
lost alone in the world.
the light of the stars to go by.
But the shining star never seemed this dark,
Faded.
Is this what I've come to?
Not even worth the light of the stars?
Why must i be alone in this world?
Does it matter?
Why would I want to live in this accursed place, anyway?
Yet I do.
But why are we doomed to live in this place we love so much.
The Darkness of the shining star,
Fades into Sunlight,
The Safe Haven.

This peice started as a simple English project for Concrete Poetry. I personally hate this poem (all my freinds loved it), but I could not just leave it sitting around. Read and Critisize.

I'm one of the friends who loved it. How can you hate it - It is amazing - sad but relatable. You are a great writer Jeff.
