you're a
dancer in the dark
not knowing
what and who you will become
floating in
the ocean like an astronaut
pieces of
stardust flowing through your blood
of a story
that started long before knowing
like
ripping out a page, burning it to dust
and let
wind to take its meaning
what you're
here to endure will be revealed along the path
we're here
to hold our sadness to each his own
but may you
not follow what others will lay out for you
may you
look yourself in the mirror and recognize
your true
self looking back at you
others will
force their expectations upon you
and deep
inside you'll know you won't be able to achieve them
being
contradictory and ever-changing
which may
leave you confused and wishing for something
to fit into
an idea not yours
the thing
is though, most people have no idea
leading a
safe life in order to survive
don't be
busy with living or days will pass you by
leave you
empty yearning for something more
don't force
too much of yourself, or if you do, ignite!
dive into
the flame and keep it burning
