Nonsense?

If the stars could guide me
away from this sea,
I would follow them gratefully.
I would use the sky as a map. 
Not worrying if it's a trap,

The stars are my guide, after all. 
And they will not fall
like the autumn leaves.
Instead, they are strong like trees. 
And I say this with ease.

The stars rest in the sky
where clouds fly high. 
They look down at me
as they stare at the sea. 
They look on the rest of the land,
but they don't understand
why I am stranded in this sea of sand. 

And again I think to myself,
"If the stars could guide me
away from this sea,
I would follow them gratefully.
I would use the sky as a map. 
Not worrying if it's a trap."

    I am not solely myself.

    I am pieces of those I love,

    Pieces of those I’ve loved, too.

    They make me who I am,

    who I strive to become.

    Deep in my heart,
