Falling Stars Poem by Trynian Aiuyer

She looked at the ground, distraught and scared
That she would fall just like those before who
Promised that they were eternally there
But they weren't
They were just falling stars

She closed her eyes, wondering how
She would make it to the days end
Because all that promised that they were eternally there
Were gone in a blink
They were just falling stars

She stared into space, wishing that she
Could find her place in the world
Because all that had promised would help her find it
Left her alone
They were just falling stars

She cowered in a corner, trying to hide the pain
That tormented her day and night
Because all that had promised to help
Had hurt her even more
They were just falling stars

But what she didn't realize was that because
She was looking down
she couldn't see the hope in front of her
Her eyes were closed
she couldn't see the sun setting
She stared into space
the surrounding color was dimmed
She hid in the corner
she wasn't winning her battles
But she had an important purpose...
And she was more beautiful that she knew
