My grandmother always told me

To hold onto that star

Let it grant your wish

So forever can go far

But now the sky has dimmed

Stars flicker no more

Hopes are crushed now

Dreams are lost

My burden awaits

Like holding up the world

A kite in the air

Lightning strikes still

It echoes with regrets

“Not a moment to waste”

Is what she said

Yet I let it waste

Some hope to find

Some let it pass

I will remember

Find peace at last

What once was bright

Is now haunting

The stars that shined

Are now daunting

**Wanted to try my hand at poetry! Let me know what you think!**
