The Star Poem by Jessica Robert

You see, there is a star
A star so beautiful,
A star so talented,
But a star so blind to what she really is
Her heart is larger than life
Just dying to become something more than what she thinks is her limit
Though, there is none
She wants to dance across the midnight cloak
And sing the summer breeze
She wants to illuminate a pathway for lost souls
And to catch every tear that is cried
But she feels trapped in a box
Crowded from every angle
Unable to move and be whats waiting for her
But won't be waiting much longer
The star can achieve anything she puts her mind to
But she takes a step back every time she is close
She pulls away from what is meant to be
And chooses another path when hers is clearly open
Because she is afraid
She's afraid of everything you would think she'd put behind her
Because her mask is so hard to look pass
She fears rejection and hate
They haunt her sleepless days and they pound on her during her nights
She can't escape them
The star is lost
And afraid she cannot be refound
Obviously, this star isn't really a star
But a human being, lost on her way to find who she is
When its obvious who she should be
She should be
Her.
