Falling Stars

by @javier-garza

A gem multifaceted Different avenues, different worlds? To fail is to succeed, to succeed is to die What do you do when both heaven and hell reject you? Do you cry indignation? Do you beg forgiveness? Or do you do nothing? A gem upon the heavens, one that shines but only in the night A star that shines only within the shadows? To be reborn is to forsake, to stay is to condemn What do you do when there is no way to move? Stay stagnant and a relic? Risk it for rebirth? A celestial being with potential tainted Too bleak to shine upon the heavens Too bright to shine within the cesspool So do you fade away? NO! You shine upon the heavens! Purify the cesspool! Rise or descend upon it all! A Fallen Star answers to none but helps all! A Fallen Star is what we are! Failure and hope in one The children that neither HELL nor HEAVEN saves The children that shine through it all; Dust, darkness, hail, or sunshine The Fallen Stars shine bright, not for the sake of Heaven nor Hell But for themselves That's what makes us Falling Stars
