Falling Stars
To live a dream is wistful,
To dream a life is wasteful,
To excel to the stars is for the life of the deserving,
To plummet to the gutters is the deserving of the dreamer,
To summon belief is willful,
To believe the summon is skillful,
To adorn the courage is for the path of the popular,
To wallow in the fear is the deserving of the believer,
To hope and dream and believe
Is the luxury of few,
As days grow
Strength wavers,
Consumed by conflicting cries
Hold on
Give up
Struggling to see the sense of why.
