Writings

Stars

A/N: Okay so this is a totally random poem that I just decided to write tonight... I was listening to Dove Cameron's My Destiny from Liv & Maddie and Idk. I just got inspired I guess? And I was looking at "pretty aesthetics" on google... They included stars so that's what I'm calling this. Okay, I hope it's not too terrible. In the, I guess you could call it, second stanza the rhyme scheme changes from a rhyme every line to a rhyme every other line... Idk why I did it like that but I did, I kinda like it. I'll put the Dove song in the media at the top so you can hear my inspiration.(So they only have the promo version of the song, Boo you, YouTube! So like I can't link it... but it is on Spotify so you can find it there. Unfortunately, I can't link that here either so... But I'll check back in the next few days to see if someone uploads the whole song and then I'll link it here. ...Sorry...) Okay, here...

The late night stars glisten

If only you'd listen.

When the glow of the day, begins to fade

That's when the stars are made.

When you live in the city, they're rarely seen

But move to the country and you'll see them gleam.

The city's hustle and bustle often disguise

The beauty of the skies.The colors of the galaxies,

They've always fascinated me.

They're pure works of art.

I just know it in my heart.

I think one day I might live there

And people like me will look up and stare.

They'll be holding onto the day they can join us

Away from all the noise and the fuss.

We'll all finally fit inOh, where do I begin?

Maybe with this place

Where I feel like 'just another face'?

Maybe with this feeling

So lonely, it leaves me reeling?

Maybe with feeling like I'm lost

Trying to find my way home, no matter the cost?

Maybe with the breaking apart

I feel every day in my heart?

Maybe with the ones that are gone

That I so desperately long

To have back again, if for only a moment?

But I'd want more after that, and I know it!

Maybe with being left out

Constantly, what's that about?

Maybe with how the stars make me feel like I'm home

No matter where I roam?

Maybe I don't want to be a part of the crowd!

Maybe I want to stand out and wear a crown.

Would my mother be proud?

This is a feeling I'm sure she's never known.

She wants to fade into the woodwork.

You see, that's where we differ.

I want to stand out, make my mark.

I don't want to match the feathers of the Swiffer.

I revel in how weird I am

I want to change the world, however I can.

I don't want to say, 'Yes sir, no ma'am'

I want to draw the strength of a good man.

I want someone who will stay by my side.

Someone who will support me in whatever I do.

Not someone who will run and hide

When things are tough to get through.

I just want to be me,

Not have to pretend

To be something I could never be

When will this madness end?!

I want to fight for what I have.

I want to know where my life with lead.

I don't want to have to draw it out in a graph.

Where will my destiny take me, will it make me bleed?

I decide my own fate.

I get to decide where I go.

I just wanna be great!

I wanna be the hero.

I know I can do anything,

I just have to find the right way to get there.

To my castle on the hill, I can see it cementing.

This is my future, I can feel it in the air.

'Look out world! I'm on my way home.'

A/N: So yeah, there's that. I hope you liked it. It's pretty cringe-y but not as cringe-y as one of my first poems... Anyway, I kinda like it? I don't know. I'm not sure. So yeah... Okay, later gators. Love you, kiddies!
