Shooting Star

So one night I was just awake, I do most of my writing at night when my mind is really thinking. I started dreaming about my future and thinking of everything I want and who I want to become, this poem 'Shooting Star' is a metaphor for my hopes and dreams.

Shooting Star

Dreaming of a star,

A star I see. 

It's oh so far

Can I ever be?

Stars shoot in the distance,

Millions of miles away. 

Stars shooting in the distance;

I see you today. 

You have already died out,

Can I still make a wish?

You represent all my dreams 

Will they shine like you?

The mesmerising light show,

A stars illuminuse glow. 

People wish, I know,

Where do they go?

You are my light,

Shining brightly in the night. 

This is my fight,

Fighting strongly..in my fright. 

I stare out my window:

Looking into the unknown. 

Only a black night...

But I'm coming home. 

This is my dark,

To become my day. 

This is my mark,

To emphasise my stay.
