Soar

No matter where I am, the guilt follows me. The guilt of my past decisions, the guilt of the people left behind. The weighed down feeling of all the mistakes in my past. Knowing I can't go back and change it is the hardest. I want to block it out, forget my past and forget the future. I just want the present. i don't want the stress and the worry. I want the free feeling. Something like the feeling a bird feels when its soaring miles above us, free of guilt, free of worry. I want to soar. I want to be free.

  • My Little Star

    You’re something like a bright star, shining bright above the world while everyone sleeps. I stayed up every night, admiring your glow, wishing I could be as bright as you.

  • Wish

    You’re something like a favorite song. A song someone loves so much that they’ll sit in their room for hours just listening to this one song.

  • Two Souls.

    Us. Our two souls, separated for years upon years, then collided out of nowhere. Without a second thought, I began talking to you. Something ignited in me. Something like the flame of a match in a dark room.
