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.
