When a star falls
There is pressure
Applied to the world

That one person
Great as may seem outwardly
Feels such torture inside

That star
Falling brightly with a
Burning, rage-fueled passion

Darkness consumes
His every graceless
Movement through life

A beautiful sight to see
As it flies through the night
Aflame with its simplicity

Sadly he has convinced
Himself of his own
Complete purposelessness

If only one person looked
Into the sky with
Full Understanding

At last he finds himself
Trudging through life
As if his feet were bound

That person would see the star's
True purpose in its
Collision course with Destiny

Nothing can be said or done
To make him feel better
Or to relieve his burden

That persons eyes follow
The star's long history
Of depressed travel

Saddest of all
He doesn't realize the
Goodness of his own heart

Only after a true epiphany
Those who watched the star
Would fall down and weep

  Thank you for letting us read this. It was truly great. I know what this feels like...
That one person
Great as may seem outwardly
Feels such torture inside

Please keep posting.

Thank you for sharing this poem, it is lovely.  My favorite parts were:
"Collision course with Destiny"
          and
"Only after a true epiphany/
Those who watched the star/
Would fall down and weep"  

These lines made me want to weep for the sheer beauty of this poem.  Wonderful!  Can't wait for more!

I agree with carly and bright eyes.  This is wonderful and they picked some of my favorite parts which you can see is pretty much the whole poem.  Great job.

Well hey this was a nice poem. I liked it. Very nice.



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

This is a very beautiful piece. You are a star, my friend, and I hope you realize what you are. Thanks for sharing.

Into the sky with
Full Understanding"

Wow... this poem is great.  I'm not going to disgrace it with my words... because it has rendered me speechless.
Truly great.
