The Darkened Sky | ![]() |
|
Orange,
pink, purple, and gray is
the sky as the sun sets. Night
falls upon me like
a blanket about to smother
a fire.
Still I breathe. One
by one, stars appear, glistening, hope
from the heavens. I
witness darkness attempting to
suffocate the precious stars, but
they remain strong and firm. Strong
and firm.
Is it possible to
crawl from this black void into
a new world? Each
star winks a ray of atonement, as
though they understand what
is there to understand? Darkness,
cruel, suffocating, surrounds,
encompasses me. To
live a life of happiness is
everyone's goal, dream.
Yet, why
are so many filled with grief? No,
I will not fall into the pit of eternal blackness. The
stars are my way out. Perhaps,
each contain a life, of
my choosing to lead. Oh
dearest me! To choose a
life for oneself will be the
greatest and most important decision
anyone could possibly make, which
star shall I wish upon? Charlette
