Try a little harder,
think a little smarter
because happily ever after
doesn't happen overnight.
Disney fed us fairy tales
of following fairy trails
to places where everything
will be alright
but beautiful things,
they don't happen overnight.

Let yourself know 'you'll be alright'
hold your head up high,
keep marching on that field
because you are soldier
and I don't know what Disney sold you
but you'll have to make your own miracles.
[My last poem- Goodbye fellow poets, it's been a great two years betwixt you and me].

You start it all with just a spark
the mimicry of beating hearts
that casts away sight of star.
You start of as a small light
that caught ignition by ignited
spirits muddled in chemistry.
You raise yourself higher
hoping that flames alight skies
as the skyward gleams off
the clouds.
You brace yourself with
the burning self doubt
and the hatred impaled
towards your own soul.
So burn yourself hotter
try to light yourself brighter
because the hotter you burn
the faster you fade
and in your final wake,
know that someone
will slowly but surely
take your place.

I don't know what it was at first-
that caught my attention.
It wasn't that you laughed at
my jokes and made me smile,
it wasn't the clear blue skies
you had for eyes, it wasn't
anything physical...
I think after a while,
I started to know;
what it was that
kept me magnetised to you,
always coming back
and even after every fight
I'd still come running back
apologising because
I would rather lose a fight
than ever lose you.
I knew what it was
that kept me falling back
towards your direction,
it was in the fact
that we shared the same
eyes, the same smile,
the kind that hid things,
and the fact that you
could find it in yourself
to care about me.
I knew it that you had
a loving soul because
as you were created
you're ever going to be
extraordinary to me.
Just the right amount
of extraordinary that
made you beautiful.
Just like the way
sometimes some stars
would align, enough
to form a constellation.
You are a constellation,
so distant...
yet so elegant.

So please give me a sign,
let me know if
I'm koalafied to be your numpty.
I'm sorry for everything that I am, I'm sorry I couldn't be better.
But I know what I can try to do better than anyone,
and that is to love you with all my heart.
