My Star is Too Far Away

I reach my arms out,
Towards the sky
Because they always
Tell me to reach for
The Stars

After what felt like
Infinity, I realized
My arms are much
Too short. I grab a
Chair to stand on.

I'm still too small.
I place more items
Under my feet, hoping
To get anywhere closer.
I'm almost there.

Just as I reach out to
Grab my star, I
Hear freaking beneath
Me. I look down to my
Tower swaying dangerously.

But I'm so close! I
Try to reach out again,
Farther, but the shaking
Is too much. I try to
Hold onto something,

But nothing is there to
Steady me. I start to
Slip, seeing my dream-
MY STAR- fly too far
Away for anyone.

All I can do is fall. Forever.
When I finally hit the
Infinite bottom, all
I can see is my star,
Farther away than ever before.
