Moon

(written  in 2017)

Were told as kids

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars

But the stars are all similar.

If they want us to follow our dreams then why tell us

Even if we'll miss.

We will not miss if we don't try hard enough.

The stars aren't good enough for me

They are all the same

They all twinkle in the sky like beautiful glittering diamonds

They all have their moments where your in awe.

But i don't want to be the same as other people.

I want to land on the moon.

I want to be the first person to really land on the moon

To achieve my dreams.

Not land among the stars.

Because even if i fall onto a star its going to be a shooting one aiming for the moon

The problems i have in my life are so small compared to others

When i hear someone say, "i don't like my shoes. Their not in style"

Don't you just ever stop to think that your lucky enough to have something

There are people in the world who are aiming for the moon this very second

And some can't because their busy trying to stay alive.

This isn't how the world should be

Don't tell me this is the world i was born into

A world where people don't accept what their given

A world where people aren't grateful

I'm grateful for just the little things i have

And sometimes i don't even realize how grateful i really am

I'm grateful i'm grateful i'm grateful

GOD

How many times must i say it just to be as grateful as i really am

I stutter

I make mistakes mistakes

I fall and i get back up

And im grateful im grateful

I hate myself

I love myself

I hate myself

I love myself

I am a complicated human being

And your telling me if i miss the moon to land among the stars?

What if i completely give up and dont land on a star

What then?

What other words are you going to consult me with

You certainly can't use

Aim for the moon, because even if you miss you'll land among the stars

Because I fell

And i fell hard

You can't tell me to just listen listen listen

Your to young to understand understand understand

I am old enough to understand that my problems are just as great

That i am not just young and full of emotions

I fell onto the ground

What now

I don't want your words if their going to be encouraging.

I don't want to be encourage for landing on the ground

That its okay and that you will get back up on your feet

Because who knows i just might not

This is me

Just accept it

Thankyou
