Poem: The Path of a Star

Who would want to be a star,
A light in seas of darkness.
Seemingly with friends, from afar,
But really living in loneliness.

Burning bright for all of life,
Only to white the only black.
Feel only pain of red-hot knife,
Slowly burning, through your back.

And when the star longs for bliss,
It'll leave in brilliance -- if it can.
Or, it'll fall, into the abyss.
But after all, the dark rules again.

Who would want to be a star,
And live a life of lonely pain.
The best and bravest, bear the scar,
Walk through mud to chase away rain;
Only the greatest walk the path of the star.
