Starry Eyed

Searching for something more,

The days pass me by,

like the wind on the shore.

I look to the stars for answers,

Hoping to see my future,

In their crystal like light.

As the darkness of night,

wraps around me like a blanket.

A constant reminder of reality.

I’ve let myself become starry eyed,

too engrossed in my dreams.

Always saying nothing is what it seems.

Always hoping for something unattainable.

I allow reality to set in, as I search-

for something new in the stars’s light.

Now reaching for what’s within reason,

instead of chasing after the next season.

  • Right?

    Whispers so cruel flood the news,

    Filling many hearts with fear. 

    Some listen to only what they want to hear. 

    Their denial leaves a black and blue bruise. 

  • Shattering

    Sitting in uncomfortable silence,

    We wait for our problem to be solved.

    Changing my habits, I hope and hope.

    We have been given so much,

    And we have taken so greedily.

    Caring is beyond so many, it seems.
