*I once was boarded up
inside my mind,
played with shadows
I thought were mine.
I felt so small
because I knew how large
life was compared to me.
I never saw the star
I was meant to be.
Until one bleak cloudy day,
I put my shadows away.
I looked up to find my way,
I saw the sky and I noticed the
stars.
I thought I want to be like those
burning lights above your head
burning brightly for all to see.
So I started blogging my poetry.*
