SupernovaA Poem by Elijah GleavesSome may say, "If you stand for nothing You fall for anything?" But you fail to comprehend That rule doesn't always apply. I am no longer the moon controlling The tides of my standards, Now it"s the gravitational pull Of a mirrors reflection that Determines who I "fall for". Maybe if I were caramel Instead of a dark chocolate, I'd have the confidence To reach for the brightest star. But those shinning orbs Only shine upon, The straightest of teeth and Handsomest of faces. Not even the nights diamonds Are brilliant enough to Illuminate what lies inside, They can only expose the exterior, But are blind to what truly matters. So here I patiently wait Still orbiting the warm sun, Still searching for my Supernova Whose light will pierce this outer shell And finally reveal the person that lies within. © 2011 Elijah Gleaves |
