How I came to be

The God

who created the stars 

and the sun 

and the mountains 

and the planes

gazed over it all,

then added me

 

Cause He looked at a field of ornate roses and lilies,

felt something missing,

and added a little daisy

a small flower, 

with shallow roots,

but loved it just the same

 

He doesn't need me

but he wants me

even though I've hurt him 

even though he knew I'd turn my back

 

The God of the stars 

loved me into being

 

and so here I am

Lost but He leads me

Hurt but He heals me

 with my fair share of hate, but He loves me

 

I don't know why

but maybe that doesn't matter

 

Because the God of the stars 

loved me into being

    and then passed it on

    by showing kindness to the outsider

     

  • Stars

    A girl stood alone 

    on the edge of the world, 

    scared to fall, 

     

    but somehow she could not leave 

     

    Her heart pounding, 

    Her chest screaming,
