I am a stargirl,
Born of the universe.
Take me home.
Inspired by Jerry Spinelli's novels
mims Nov 2013
She is my light
in every pitch black evening.
Her light cuts through every angle
brightening up
each part of me.

She is my only guide
the star I follow
to a final destination
of home, of happiness
of eternal warmth and security.

She is my inspiration.
The reason I wake up everyday
with purpose, with intent
of becoming a better me.
The reason, I go to sleep
with a smile.
For every slumber,
comes another morning
which means a day closer to her.

She is my stargirl. :)

She is loved.
She is yearned for.
She is worth waiting
and risking for.

Yours and only yours, Anne.

Your Mims

In the right place
At the right time
On the right day
In the northwest sky
You can see star girl
You can't always see her
But she's there
Oh, she's there
People admire Stargirl from far away
But no one sees Stargirl
They see 10,000 lights
All suspended up in the sky
No one sees the 10,000 ***** of gas burning
They burn explosively emitting blasts of passion
But no one sees those
No, one sees her fire
They see Stargirl
Shining in the sky
But not her fire
Oh, not her fire
They see Stargirl
Perched upon a constellation
They see her perch
But what they don’t see is how precarious it truly is
They don’t see the immense amount of weight
The weight she balances
It’s as if, if she moved
The world would come crashing down around her
They see the planets the constellations and the stars
They see the glitz and the glam
The pretty things
What they don’t see is the void she floats in.
Nobody asks about the pressure
Only she, remembers the excruciating pressure.
Because all stars shatter
Before they show their true colors.
She can only hope
That one day somebody will look
With their mind
Not their eyes
And see all of her
Not just the parts that shine
This is for you because if you're reading this you probably need a virtual hug.
Okay? Okay.
There ya go, have a nice day!

her tightrope
was a feather,
balance weighing
on the tips of wings
held suspended
above the ground

summer skin
taut
against her bones,
thousands of stars
threaded beneath
each of her freckles

she found solace
in satellites,
the man in the moon
winking from his place
among the planets

she felt
galaxies
coursing through
her veins, the Milky Way
bubbling up
from her belly

and
somewhere
within --

tiny heartbeats
mirroring the shower
of asteroids
falling
from the sky
They never get uptight when a moth gets crushed,
unless a lightbulb really loved him very much --

(Elliott Smith)

scatter my body among the stars

let me float nameless in the sky

so your eyes may never know me

and your mind will be whole and free


but I’ll feel your gaze

burning bright (as always as always)

from your bench in the garden

giving me whatever meaning you decide
The train
flew past us,
we were there,
waiting for our
time, until,
he walked
towards
where I  
was to
be found,
he nestled
my body
In his
arms,
I looked up,
gazing
deeply,
I Iistened
as he
said,
you are
the one
who has
not yet
known
the truth,
I will tell
you, the
one who
has been in
tears, when
you are broken,
you will always
remember,
to love who
you are
and others,
the untold
story lies
beneath,
bring the
torn fabric
and sew
your heart
back together,
you will heal,
as I have always
done, you will
forget the dew
falling, and heal,
only then, will you
see how love is
unconditional,
when you see
with the heart
rather than
the eyes,
you will
see true
beauty,
let the
lost
clouds
come
together,
hold hands
and make
them feel
special,
warm them
with your
heart and
gently
place a
tissue on
their tears,
touch their
souls and
hold them
close, how
you want to
be loved is
how people
will love you,
you will look
at the night
with them
and say, we
are lanterns
of the sky,
filling the
oceans of
the universe
with the
galaxies
in our hearts,
we are more
luminous than
we think we are,
as the butterfly
unaware of the
delicacy of its
wings, resting
under the sun,
we are roses
opening
for the love
awaiting them,
yet, these hearts
are unaware
of how they
call for their
soulmates,
not knowing
their names,
rather, the
wind was
already within
the leaves,
creating the
music they
have known
before, the
tides becoming
one, as your
hand becomes
the pulse
of this heart
of mine, I
want you
to listen
when I say,
you are a
infinite light
shining
through
the cracks,
you are,
the one
and only,
stargirl.

I love space
If that isn't obvious
By now
It's magical
The constellations
The stars
The vastness
The beauty
I love space
It reminds me of you

Constellations
Remind me
Of the freckles
Dappled across
Your porcelain-like skin

Planets
Such as Neptune or Uranus
The captivating blue
Reminds me
Of your bewitching eyes

Stars
Remind me
Of you
Radiant and glimmering
Luminating the darkest hours
When I need it
Most

You're my stargirl
Brightening up my night
With your glimmer and shine

I love space
It reminds me of you

What do you want to grow up?
A StarGirl!

"A StarGirl you shall be",
they said giving spraying neon paint on me
and letting me stand in the night.

But when I stood there
they asked me again,
"Are you happy?"

I couldn't answer.
I was too busy shining to know.
They washed the paint off me
and painted the earth all over me,
lying me down, pined to the ground.
"Are you happy, now?"

I couldn't answer.

I'm a girl of stars not hearts
I shine in the dark
Yes I explode cause I can't take the heat
If you need me to I'll repeat
I'm not romantic and yes I can be mean
So cold it burns
Guess you earned the golden heart
But the glitter was just a collage of art
And when you erase
There is nothing left
You see this black mess
It's just a void
I took my crayons and glitter and gold
And tried to decorate my heart and soul
I'm a girl of stars not hearts
Either way I'm torn apart
But I think I'm good I'll just stick to my golden art

— The End —
