free, a collection of poems

stars in the sky

i sometimes wonder how many people

are staring at the stars,

looking for their hope amongst them.

just looking for a safe place to belong.

sometimes i try and count the stars

and i act as if that's the amount of happy people in the world

living a life to the fullest without worry that there won't

be a good tomorrow.

i was always told to never give up,

but here i am now.

my only getaway from the numbness inside of me

is the stars in the sky.

a wonderous amount of people looking at these stars,

for reasons just like mine and many more,

maybe just for exploration, maybe for interest,

or maybe a way to escape a hell of a life.

so many people looking at the same stars,

not thinking about every one else in the world,

just looking into our universe

for any reason we feel,

if we feel anymore.
