Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you will land among the stars.


A star is dying
She is going in and out
Not sure when to completely go

Her mind is racing
Still wanting to gleam
Every night wanting to keep on going

The star doesn’t want to leave
She has too much to live for
As the night goes on

She cannot hold on much longer
The star finally begins to feel free
And she lets her light go out

The star still knows she is loved
And is now in a better place
She is loved still on earth

And known for her beauty
In the heart and soul
And yet the dim light she brought

Is still reminiscent in a distant memory
She is the star not yet ready to leave

What inspired this piece was my best friend committing suicide. When I wrote this it was only about a month after she did it. This piece really helped me to express the emotions about it that I couldn't express through anything else.
