dont waste your time on shooting stars**

We gaze at the stars, wishing, fishing for a miracle

To save us from turning into empty shells

Becoming dry wells

Useless and conforming

Completely norming.

Don't waste your time on shooting stars

Because miracles aren't real.

Muscles are

Your mind is a muscle

Use it

Don't waste it away on the stars

they don't know who we are

And they just might be wishing on us, to save them from turning into black holes

One wish doesn't hurt

And I'll do my best not to be curt

Wishes are dirt

Turn them into dreams

Turn the dreams into goals

Waste no pennies on trolls

Stop wishing; start dreaming.

Don't waste your time on shooting stars

They don't know who we are

To be honest I wish on stars all the time, more for the novelty than anything else.
