Star Bound

A writing inspired by "Counting Stars" by One Republic

As I sit here in a daze,
I try to make sense of my life.
Where am I?
What direction am I going?
Sunk up to my knees in mud, I am.
My heart feels like a shattered mirror.
Memories in those shards reflect back to me.
Tears rolling down heated cheeks.
Have I made the right decision to leave?
I felt held back before, but now?
Now I feel totally lost.
The stars in my eyes sparkle no more.
What once was, now is no more.
Should I decide to return,
I believe things won't be the same.
I know I must stop dwelling on the past
In order to move into the future.
One bold move for me to make.
Am I ready?
For now, I'm unsure.
Maybe one day my eyes will sparkle like stars
And not with tears of uncertainty.
Feeling lost and uncertain wasn't expected.
Take a breath and regather refreshed.
No plan is certain,
But why not aim for the stars.
I don't know what my future holds.
Even when life has me down though
I'll always be star bound.
