The Little Star
When the fighter is all alone with nothing but darkness,he looks at me.
I am always there for all to see,
Though sometimes your life is so lit up u don’t see me.
Eons before you, I have been guiding
Eons after you, I will guide
When the lonely sailor in this wilderness
Is lost, has lost, feels unloved, feels violated, I am there.
I don’t promise to make things better.
But I do promise that I will take you to tomorrow
And then the day after and then the day after….
People have lived by me, for me and because of me.
People have died by me, for me and because of me.
YOU NEED ME. Every body does.
I don’t promise to change hell to heaven.
I don’t promise to take away your pain.
But I shall be with you. Always. Take me. I might be your last chance.
The pain will linger, but you shall see tomorrow.
The world will be the same cruel place, but you will not be cruel.
Those who have followed me have been called many names
Some fools, some courageous, some losers, some winners.
No matter what, I was and will be there.
Sometimes I am the purpose, sometimes I give purpose
When you think life is meaningless.
I am life, I give life. Don’t let go of me. Keep me in your sight.
When you don’t see the point in living for today
I give you strength to live for tomorrow.
When you cant trust anybody, please trust me.
Because I don’t promise anything but tomorrow.
Not even a better tomorrow.
But tomorrow you shall see the sun rise again, the flowers blossom, the birds chirp
Which you could not see today.
And even if you cannot see it tomorrow, I shall pull you through one more day
Because the next day you might.
And I shall keep pulling and pushing.
USE ME.
When you are in lots of pain and you cant even cry,
Look at me I am all that’s left, the only star still shining.
I shall cry with you but take you to tomorrow.
LOOK AT ME DAMNIT. DON’T LET GO OF ME.
I the little star whose light is meager, who is so distant,
But am the closest thing when everything is even more distant and dark.
Don’t let go of me. I am the fuel when everything else runs out.
I can give you lots of strength if you are willing to take it.
The strength to stare straight into the sun.
The strength to bear this whole damn world.
The strength to accept your pain, your loss, your mistakes, your failures.
Without me you are nothing, with me you are next to nothing but with a chance.
Which do you prefer?
Take me. Let my light shine through your darkened life.
When your friends hurt, your love hurts, your living hurts,
I swear I wont. Take me.
Clustered between a thousand other stars that give light and then darkness
I ALWAYS SHINE.
When the world seems black with misery
I will give you strength to be happy, to smile, to laugh.
Even if you cant be happy, smile, or laugh, I promise you wont cry.
Even if you cry this I SHALL PROMISE you wont cry for the end of today,
But cry for a better tomorrow.
Those who are confident maybe broken,
But with me by their side there is a CHANCE that it is temporary.
Your back might break, shoulder sag and peace lost.
But if you can look at me and feel me by your side,
you will still carry the burden.
So please look and feel me.
When other stars like a streaking but dying meteorite blind you into euphoria,
I do what we stars are really meant to do
Give light for you to live through darkness.
Look around you.
The whole world runs on me.
Why don’t you?
WHY DON’T YOU?
When you have lost everything,
You can never lose me.
When you don’t know the truth from the lies.
Its okay because you know me.
I wont give up on you,
If you don’t give up on me.
Even if you lose your mind, don’t lose me.
I am the only chance for you to get it back.
Even when you cant see love anywhere,
I will make you see it in the guy in the mirror.
I wont make you raise up from your misery like a shooting star,
Lets take it step by step.
Even if you slip, its okay I will make you climb the next step.
You say you are in excruciating pain?
Look at me.
It will be bearable.
When everything is there I am there.
But more importantly,
When everything is gone I AM THERE.
Oh god please please please take me.
Don’t think, TAKE ME!
Don’t ask me “WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I TRUST YOU. LOOK AT WHERE I AM BECAUSE OF YOU”
I can only say that it is not the end.
If it is why are you breathing?
I am there in every breath of yours.
Every tears.
Every thoughts.
Realize it.
And even after all this if the next day is even darker,
If I am more distant and my light weaker.
Know that I am there ONLY for you.
I told you already but I think you don’t understand.
No matter how many times you slip,
With me you will climb again and again and again.
And then one day you shall love like you used to,
Smile like you used to,
TRUST like you used to.
And I shall love and smile along with you , though you might have forgotten me then.
I am your little star.
I AM CALLED HOPE.
I give you the power to dream.
And I also give you the power and convictions to achieve it.
PLEASE DON’T LET GO OF ME.
Everything is nothing without me.
I give meaning where it does not exist.
I give strength.
I make a bed of nails bearable, not likeable though.
I can do only so much.
My powers are limited.
But with it YOU CAN LIVE life,
not as a zombie.
But with all your senses intact.
I come in different forms.
Look at the rose.
Look at the jet.
Look at the ship.
Look at your house.
Damn it, look at anything.
Everything is a product of me.
I AM HOPE.
PLEASE DON’T LET GO OF ME.
I MIGHT BE THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE.
BUT I AM POWERFUL.
AND I SHALL HELP YOU COME BACK TO LIFE
