Counting Stars

Another day

Another night

Wondering if

I’m running out of time

Counting the stars

In the dark night sky

But then again

It’s not stars

But a sky of ashes

Ashes of dreams

Ashes of hopes

Ashes of all I ever want

Lost dreams

Lost hopes

Lost life or lost myself

I guess it’s hard

But the clock must stop

To help me find

The ultimate drop

So hope for the best

And carry on

It’s all I can do

For life to go on

Ashes away

And make it stay

To finally feel more than okay

The counting of stars

Must then start
