Wishing on the Stars

As the day comes to an end and night takes over

I take the time to think of my life

As I lay down in the grass I turn my view to the sky above

It isn't long before I became lost in my own solitude world

A world where I feel at peace, if only for a moment

Morning will soon come and I'll be forced to face whatever the day brings

I hope that the ones I come across show mercy on this delicate soul

As the stars shine their radiant light upon me I can feel the comfort of their warmth

All of my troubles just fade away as I'm mesmerized by their beauty

In my life, I have faced many hardships

The pain has never left me

Even now in this moment I can never forget

As I stare at the stars I wish for better days

For days where I can always be at peace

Perhaps it is just my wishful thinking and those days will never come

Even though I still pray, beg for those days to come

I can only hope that there is a God listening up above

That he hears my pleads

It is the only thing that keeps my hope alive

Lately, I can feel myself slowly slipping into the darkness

An abyss of despair

The countless nights that I have cried

The stream of tears that fell from my eyes

It is proof I have been strong for too long

I don't know why I keep going, what pushes me forward

Every time I think I've reached the end of my rope, it seems it lengthens

Maybe there is someone looking out for me out there

Maybe someone does care

I continue to keep my faith

Continue to wish upon the stars

Just in case I'm being heard

I hope you can hear me

My life is depending on it

I just need a sign, the smallest will do

Are the stars your way of showing me there's still hope?

Am I to be guided by their light?

The thought of that is soothing so, I'll believe it to be true.

As the night goes on I feel my eyes growing heavy

I close them as a gentle breeze comforts me

It seems to be all that embraces me

No one else is around to care

As I tear slides down my cheek I breathe in deep

Just barely holding on to the little hope left in me

I'm still holding on though

I fight my sorrows and wipe the fallen tears

"There will come tomorrow"

Better days to come I continue to hope for

Better days than this

Clinching my fist I feel the tears running more

I can't seem to stop them

They have control

Tightly I close my eyes and scream

Though no one hears my cries

My face begins feeling hot

My adrenaline raises

Unable to stop myself I let the pain in

My peaceful world is taken over

My mind shows memories of my life

Every painful word

Every wrong move I've made

It all replays like a movie

I'm forced to watch my life

Forced to relive most painful times

As I soon open my eyes I see the stars once more

Somehow I'm calmed

My peace of mind slowly returns

My saviors have saved me again

The light in my darkest moments

I manage to smile as I stare at them once more

Perhaps there will be better days

Perhaps I can make it through

As long as the stars shine for me

I believe I can
