Replying to a comment on:
Star Bright (Free verse) by x311
Rising...setting
Day in...day out
Do you even take notice
Of the time passing you by?
Tomorrow rolls in
Before you know it, it's flown by
Do you even realize
What you are missing today?
Cutting yourself off
Isolated you stay
I hate seeing you this way,
So open up and take my hand
Like that bright star in the sky
I see a glimmer in your eye
Don't hide it, you're burning out
Exploding supernova
You want...so much
To be...so great
With all of your lofty goals
You beat yourself down
Beyond your outward smiles
You wear a deep frown
From my life
You have almost disappeared
Why do you do this?
It's just as I had feared
I missed you again today
Waiting here with an open hand
Grab it and take hold, I'll break you away
I won't let go of you, trust in me today
Like that bright star in the sky
I see a glimmer in your eye
Don't hide it, you're burning out
Exploding supernova
Trust in me...
Trust in yourself...
