On A Broken Star.

She was optimistic when she'd wish on a star.

But, reality had its place in her heart.

She wanted to believe in all the possibilities.

All the chances, triumphs and opportunities,

that life could offer.

She put all her trust into this wish.

Put in the envelope, and sealed it with a tender kiss.

Hope was hiding in the closet, she could hear it knocking.

She invited it out, but it kept on balking,

and she was starting to lose faith.

Bright stars told her of the grateful sorrow.

To help her prepare for the sadness of tomorrow.

Her stubbornness forbid her from taking the advice.

She wanted to believe life was caring and nice,

but she soon saw her fault.

Her hopes died suddenly, and she waited to bury them.

Desperately, she tried to find another wish to send.

Her cupboards were empty, and filling with dust.

She no longer had any wishes, nor anything to trust,

as she slowly faded away.

Out of the fairy tale, and into the woods she was thrown.

She had nothing; no happiness, no hope, and no home.

The bright stars were dulled against the gray sky.

The girl fell to her knees screaming, and started to cry,

but nobody was there.

She lay there for centuries, until she was old.

The surrounding trees were now covered in mold.

She took a deep breathe, and knew it was time.

Left behind her brokenness, and was brought back to life,

with a new wisdom.

She found her philosophy, and the stars smiled.

Even though it had taken her quite a while.

"In life: there's too many prayers to be heard.

In love: there is no way escaping being hurt",

and she knew she would be alright.

I like how this poem speaks about a sort of 'rebirthing' in a way. from hopelessness, to acceptance, to her figuring out how to be happy in her own life and philosophy, rather than depending on things around her to make her happiness. I also like how her time was never 'up', how even though it may have taken her awhile, she still was able to find the happiness and contentment. Just because something takes awhile, doesn't mean it won't or can't happen. very relatable :)
