**_The Birth Of Stars_**

Among the sky

A star is born

Bright and happy

Small and white

The ones below the sea

Made the little star feel whole

They always smiled up at the little star

Crafting her art from bubbles

The little star

Blissfully unaware 

Of the truth of the ones below the sea

As the little star grew up

So did the ones below the sea

But the smiles the little star once loved

No longer looked up at her 

The bubble artwork

Now just still waves, unbothered by nature 

The ones below the sea

Simply a reflection of the little stars yearning 

Yearning for something more than just being the little star

Hanging in the sky

Waiting for the day to come

Where she is finally free 

The little star knew it was time

Time to break free from the ones below the sea

Afraid the little star felt

Uncertain of what awaits

Below the sky

Away from the only place she ever truly called home

**_The Stars Are Bleeding_**

Beneath the shroud of night’s embrace

The little star wept in silence 

Her tears staining the sky

Weeping, silently 

Unheard by the other stars

Unseen by the ones who matter 

Every day the little star hung there

Gleaming bright in the sky

Unable to break free

From the customary misery that was her life

The little star exhausted

Emotionally

Physically

The little star hung there

Bleeding, bleeding

The bandages not thick enough

To repair a broken

Bleeding heart 

The little star knew something was missing

But unaware of what that was

Her little starry body

Dangling

Almost falling

Her bleeding little starry body

Ready to take the leap 

**_The Death of Stars_**

As the star fell

Falling, and falling

Falling far from the sky

She felt her life flash before her gleaming eyes

The once bright, twinkling, little star

Now filled with woe

Now filled with the sensation of peace

She saw the ones below the sea getting closer

Closer

Before hitting the bitter, unforgiving waters 

The ones below the sea

Surrounding her

Telling her to be a good little star

And place herself back above the sky

Falling

The star fell further and further into the sea

Before hitting foreign lands 

There she awoke

Finally feeling whole 

Mysterious creatures surrounding her 

The star told them she did not wish to return to her old life

The little star was dead

In that moment the little star died

And was reborn as what she truly was deep within herself all along 

Now one of the ones below the sea

Her scaly body new yet fulfilling 

Her long flowy hair 

Trailing behind her

Exploring all the possibilities

Finally broken free

Able to roam further than just the sky 

Now looking up, at the new little stars
