This is my attempt at something with some sort of meter...

Burning bright,
It lights the night,
Shining far,
It points out stars.

Holding steady,
I'm not ready
Giving love,
A helpful shove.

Dying fast,
What's gone is past,
Turning time,
This life is mine.

This might be confusing, if anyone doesn't get what it's about, just ask  
Also, does anyone know what those silver, red and yellow folders mean?

This is really good

I am not sure what the colored folders mean but I am guessing they mean the member you are maybe. I know the ones that open mean its their first post

The number one thing in acting is honesty: If you can fake that you've got it made.

Click there for info about the folders. I asked the same question.

Liked the poem. But work on the story line. Its a little bumpy. And I know with meter its hard to keep it up but give it a shot.
