Shattered Stars

Fear takes over and becomes in charge of everything including the things use to love to do.

Lost interests
Become shattered stars
In the night sky,
No source of light.

Fear sets in
Where the wind howls
Sending chills
Up my spine.

Courage stands tall
When the first step
Into the darkness
Is taken.

Endurance shows itself,
Not once the moon illuminates the way,
But when there is still no lighted path to follow.

Thank you for reading and commenting.

A strong poem, well written. Sometimes it takes a lot to be strong when darkness shadows out everything else. I enjoyed this a lot.

[Blue Belle]

Thank you! :)

[Alone In A Crowd]

This is great, I love how you compare lost interests to sshattered stars. This creates good imagery; one day we're so passionate about something- lighting up our sky, but then suddenly that passion falls about. The personification, descriptions and imagery you've wrote about is truly amazing.

[Blue Belle]

Thank you so much. Yeah, this is about depression taking away my interests and about my anxiety about going back to these interests because of some things that happened, but the last two stanzas are about how I can't let that fear get in the way.

[Alone In A Crowd]

Well done.

[Emily Irene.]

I agree with Alone In A Crowd. Your use of imagery was wonderful. I never really thought about it - losing interest in things because of my depression - as the stars, even though I stare at the sky in amazement at its beauty so often. Really good job.

I like this. It's short and to the point, showing that true strength comes out when there is no true path to follow. The longer phrases in the last stanza create a nice resonance at the end. :)

[Blue Belle]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. I was actually thinking of still working on it, changing it up a bit. :)

[Whiterose]

No prob. :) Well if you decide to work on it, then I'm sure it'll be even better.
