She was a Star upon her creation,
Star was tossed into a random universe and told to shine,
Turned out that Star shinned brighter than all the rest,
As time went by Star began to dull,
Star tried everything to stay bright but had no success,
Her once blue frosty glow was almost gone,
Star began to give up,
She soon decided that she didn’t want to shine anymore,
What was the point of a star with no shine?
Star changed her direction and drifted to the galaxies edge,
Star was about to put herself out when something slammed into her,
Star looked around only to see a new universe,
This new universe wanted Star and her brightness,
Star was confused until the universe taught her about her brightness,
Turned out Star’s brightness was based on how dark her universe was,
Star found a new home where she could be her true bright self

My Tolerated Self
I'd like to think I'd escape for better days. Even though the needles pricking into my skin may urge me to stay put, we are not meant for boxes and contraptions that will keep us inside. The needles aren't real, they are like bugs crawling on my skin—those feelings will fade with clarity, but some days I am unwilling to step outside of my tolerated self; my bones crumble at the idea of a future uncertain. I'm used to the boxes that keep me in place even though I know I can walk right through them and I'd be fine.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.
