Wishing on the Stars
When the troubles of life are too much to bare just look to the stars...
As the day comes to an end and night takes over
I take the time to think of my life
As I lay down in the grass I turn my view to the sky above
It isn't long before I became lost in my own solitude world
A world where I feel at peace, if only for a moment
Morning will soon come and I'll be forced to face whatever the day brings
I hope that the ones I come across show mercy on this delicate soul
As the stars shine their radiant light upon me I can feel the comfort of their warmth
All of my troubles just fade away as I'm mesmerized by their beauty
In my life, I have faced many hardships
The pain has never left me
Even now in this moment I can never forget
As I stare at the stars I wish for better days
For days where I can always be at peace
Perhaps it is just my wishful thinking and those days will never come
Even though I still pray, beg for those days to come
I can only hope that there is a God listening up above
That he hears my pleads
It is the only thing that keeps my hope alive
Lately, I can feel myself slowly slipping into the darkness
An abyss of despair
The countless nights that I have cried
The stream of tears that fell from my eyes
It is proof I have been strong for too long
I don't know why I keep going, what pushes me forward
Every time I think I've reached the end of my rope, it seems it lengthens
Maybe there is someone looking out for me out there
Maybe someone does care
I continue to keep my faith
Continue to wish upon the stars
Just in case I'm being heard
I hope you can hear me
My life is depending on it
I just need a sign, the smallest will do
Are the stars your way of showing me there's still hope?
Am I to be guided by their light?
The thought of that is soothing so, I'll believe it to be true.
As the night goes on I feel my eyes growing heavy
I close them as a gentle breeze comforts me
It seems to be all that embraces me
No one else is around to care
As I tear slides down my cheek I breathe in deep
Just barely holding on to the little hope left in me
I'm still holding on though
I fight my sorrows and wipe the fallen tears
"There will come tomorrow"
Better days to come I continue to hope for
Better days than this
Clinching my fist I feel the tears running more
I can't seem to stop them
They have control
Tightly I close my eyes and scream
Though no one hears my cries
My face begins feeling hot
My adrenaline raises
Unable to stop myself I let the pain in
My peaceful world is taken over
My mind shows memories of my life
Every painful word
Every wrong move I've made
It all replays like a movie
I'm forced to watch my life
Forced to relive most painful times
As I soon open my eyes I see the stars once more
Somehow I'm calmed
My peace of mind slowly returns
My saviors have saved me again
The light in my darkest moments
I manage to smile as I stare at them once more
Perhaps there will be better days
Perhaps I can make it through
As long as the stars shine for me
I believe I can
