Getting lost

Do you ever wish you could be a star?

Get lost in the constellations?

Even become one?

I do.

I look up at the sky every night.

I think to myself if I just try harder I will become a star.

If I was a star there would be no worries, no what ifs, nobody to tell me I'm not good enough, I would be able to live my life the way I want to live it.

I would be happier up in the night sky. 

Yeah, it would be darker up there, but it wouldn't be as lonely. 

I would be accepted.

I would have a story.

A story that would tell my journey through life and how I earned a place in the stars.

My place in the stars will be next to Alpheratz, the brightest star in Andromeda.
