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,

But the world around her was quiet and dark

and so she stood alone

on the edge of the world

scared to fall 

 But as her trembling toes

touched the edge of infinity

She looked to the sky

and realized she in fact wasn't alone

Because 

stars always seem brighter in the dark

and a gentle breeze is louder in the silence

So a girl sat down

on the edge of the world

no longer scared of falling

and made friends with the stars

Thank you to my stars 

(you know who you are)
