Mr Star

By Tracy Baxter

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Have you ever held the star of your life? Did it sparkle brightly in your hands? I have held my star, It did not shine, It crumbled in my hands like sand, I tried to keep hold I did, But the more I tried, the faster it slipped away, I’m so scared now, with each breath I await the darkness that will become my life, My star has gone, And all that I am is an empty shell of what will never be. © on May 30 2001 11:43 PM PST   0 • 1
