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)
