Starboy (Poem)

Starboy

The Starpeople who lived in the sky

Never thought of giving Earth a try

But one young Stargirl, so bold, so true

Came down to Earth to see what to do

There she did customs never seen before

Only known to Starpeople, things they adore

Like play a ukulele and talking to a mouse

Decorating things like it was their house

And singing "Happy Birthday" to people they never met

It wasn't something people really get

The people on Earth didn't know what to do

She was different from them, that's all they knew

Their stares became cheers, and whispers to laughter

But who would have known, what would have come after?

For there was a boy, who watched the Stargirl from a distance

Who was only in marvel of her unique brilliance

She was not like them, but he didn't care

He fell in love, right then and right there

She taught him the ways, of the Starpeople above

Showing the things she grew to love

And then and there Starboy was born

Though it was for a short time thanks to other's scorn

For the thing was, that she was still different

They knew it from the start, right at that instant

So the closer the boy and Stargirl grew

The farther people distance from the two

They were invisible, but was known only to the boy

Stargirl was too busy noticing only her joy

Her ignorance only gave them something to annoy

Her whole self is something they wanted to destroy

The boy in desperate need, told what should be done

That Stargirl should change, and be like anyone

The boy begged her to be normal, for she was not

Knowing this was needed, if he were to keep the girl he caught

At first she didn't get what he meant

But her love grew to a huge extent

That the next day she followed her love's plead

When he next saw her, she had done the deed

This person named Stargirl was nothing more

Like taking a person to then take out the core

The star in her was taken away to hide

There was nothing else but a girl inside

A normal girl was what all the boy wanted

All because of the words people had taunted

Even though she was now one of them

The star she treasure was but a gem

And though her now is what he wanted to see

The star inside just needed to be free

So begone was the girl that was here and now gone

The star of her's came back, Stargirl has won

But no one was happy of the comeback of her

The Stargirl that came back caused quite a stir

But when the boy let Stargirl go

Stargirl made one more show

And just like that she was gone, lost in sight

She did what she can, did it with all her might

Never was she ever seen again

And that my friends, it the end

So remember this, people of Earth

Society should not tell us what we are worth

Each and every one of us has a star inside

It's our choice on what we do with it, we have to decide

It's our choice to either be both proud and true

Or hide your star, and mask the real you

That didn't stop Stargirl who knew this from the start

To be herself, to follow her starry heart

So remember when you think that you should be just another decoy

If there was no Stargirl there would have never been a Starboy.

I found the cover in my computer and remembered of this fanfic poem I made of Stargirl. I think I posted it on Wattpad in a while, but no one really read it. I also think I was a bit scared of copyright issues, so I took it down. Now reading it, I decided to post it again. It relates to how society judges you and all, a theme I seemed to be writing a lot of, especially in TGGBB.

So I hope you enjoyed it.
