Stars and Storms

A Poem About Dreams and Pressure

Stars shining,
I saw them for the first time in your eyes.

Storms rising,
they started on your lips.

Dreams of a perfect place,
where do you want to start?

Hopes of forever,
how do you want to live your life?

Don’t lose your immortal soul.

Look up,
not even your dreams will stay forever.

Jump high,
dare to speak the truth.

It’s not me,
it’s the world that barely smiles.

Your heart,
is the only one that cries.

But this life,
breaks me, mile after mile.

A.O. Homorodean
