Stars
Sometimes stars don't represent jubilance and hope...
(August 10, 2018)
I wake up abruptly to meet the sky at night;
Illuminated; glowing with stars so bright;
It is these stars that represent my might;
Inversely - each one represents the extent of my plight.
I try to give everything my best;
But every moment my sanity is put to the test;
With exams and assignments piled up on my desk;
And friends I apparently fail to impress.
These stars glow brighter with each passing day;
Supposedly to show me the way;
But they only lead me to become more astray;
As my hopes and dreams begin to slowly fade.
I gazed at the stars up above tonight;
And I'm not too surprised that they are brighter than last night;
But I rest once again, though everything's not right;
For the Sun will come up tomorrow and wash away my troubles from their sight.
