Today's offering is from Jaime P, Grade 9.
And Now You’re
Finally A Star!
Ever since I was
little I always loved to watch the moon,
As it rose slowly
over the horizon and sat solemnly in the air.
My own, personal
nightlight to save me from the shadow of a monster,
Created from the
depths of my own misery.
My own doubt.
Never did I once stop
to think about how lonely the night sky seemed.
The vast blankness—
nothingness.
Now in my own
jadedness I have to stand still,
And watch as the moon
turns into a star, an Astro,
To fly higher than I
could’ve ever held it.
Soundless sobs and
suffocating sorrow is all I have left,
Because someone once
told me that, like dandelions seeds,
One’s bound to let
their emotions soar through the wind.
That's just human,
and that's okay.
Healing is a long
process,
Especially when
there’s no more knowing what’s in the dark.
But I’ll always have
the strength the moon once gave me,
To light up my nights
on my own,
For now the moon has
too soon become a star.
A faraway reminder of
what had been,
What is no longer,
And the lives that
will forever be touched.
-For M.B.,
May you rest in the
peace you were always searching for and finally found. You were always more
than enough.
