One night, a violet star illuminated the sky above me.
It shone brilliantly and honestly, a bright light that guided me as I took action and made myself into me, the person no one saw.
It guided me into taking the actions I had to take to make me the person no one saw, and it guided me as I became the person everyone saw and applauded.
CONSTELLATIONS
The tears of emptiness
Dropped down my face
With a violet star
Striking me with its grace!
It glistened brightly
With its
Illuminating light
Calling me
To the constellation’s
Continuous flight.
