Among the Stars
I wish I were among the stars
There is better than where we are
I'd shine above the world below
And sparkle when I wanted so
Down here on solid ground there's hate
Life comes with all this stress and weight
But if I were among the stars
I would be happy.
I wish i were a bird that flies
I'd soar so free up in the sky
Never look on the world below
I could forget if i wanted so
I'd flap my wings in rhythm steady
And never land, Never be ready
But if I were a bird that flies
I would be happy
I wish I were a cloud that floats
To life in the sky I would devote
Not to the gray clouds so unclear
The soft ones that can disappear
I'd glide all over God's creation
Forget the hate forget frustration
But if I were a cloud that floats
I would be happy
But I am just a simple girl
With average life in average world
I'm nailed down here upon the ground
I rarely ever make a sound
With fights and frights and good things shaded
The light inside my heart has faded
But if I were among the stars
I would be happy.

this poem really resonated with me. I think we all want to get away from the trap we're in sometimes. Trapped by our very existance, the weight of the world is a little too much. I've written quite a few poems along these lines, so check them out if you get a chance and let me know what you think. :)
