i envy those whose eyes are set on one star;
that they know how to reach it no matter how far.
i envy how they know which rocket ship to take;
i envy how they know what decision to make
how they know which gear to manipulate.
i envy those who already know their fate.
while i, with confused eyes,
am still staring at the sea of lights.
still choosing, hoping, for the perfect glimmer;
perfect for me - a dreamer.
but it just seems like it's still lightyears away from me.
but i'll wait.
perhaps, i am not meant to stay on one star.
