“Nights Alone”

Standing beneath these gleaming orbs of destiny
I bow my head to in hopes of becoming free
Dreaming of things that only I shall know
Wishing for something  in life to show

Many a night spent alone beneath those lights
Praying that my wishes come true upon that night
Dreaming dreams of a love so true
Wishing upon a star for one like you

The day then came when you lit my way
Like the dawning sun as it casts its first shining ray
The dreams I had been dreaming suddenly came true
All those wishes came to be, the moment I met you

Joyful days filled with many memories
For now you have set me free
The dreams still not yet known
My wishes still sought to be shown

Forgotten paths upon the roads of life
Lead me to believe I feel something other then strife
Dreaming of things which can never be
Wishing that I knew what’s wrong with me

Actions and endings upon the path
Forgetting how to add this math
I know dream no dreams of grand design
Letting go of wishes that once were mine

But that can never be
For I still think of you in love you see
I guess that’s what happens by far
When one wishes upon a star


It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.

I've learned that even when you

Not your best, but I did like it.
The ending .....very good.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
