Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars

Sometimes stars just don't understand what exactly wishes are.

I wished upon the shooting stars

I prayed sincerely every night

That I would be loved

That I would find light

 

Then I acquainted with friends

I was greeted with acceptance

I thought I had finally found a sanctuary of hope

I had at last entered a refuge of benevolence

 

The dream was the sweetest

Until hope faded into despair

Smiles melted into bitter tears

When harm eclipsed care

 

Now I wish upon the shooting stars

To revoke my childish prayer

Leave me alone in this darkness, please

For this is my last wish, I swear

wow this blew me away i felt this such pain and anguish having to accept life's hand when realizing relationships you thought were nurturing you were only bringing you down and trying to come to come to terms with accepting darkness as it is the only place you feel you belong protected from the pains of light and the harsh realizations it brings sheltered beneath the veil of night.

Amazing write exiled wolf

Thank you for appreciating the darkness and solitude in there!
Update: When the people who did harm asked you "are you all good", words are the palest.

Woah, not what I expected at all... gets darker the more you look at it, really nice

Thanks! This piece was written when I realize what is under the unfeeling mask of light... so yes it is dark

I loved this poem because it's so understandable and relateable. When I clicked on you profile I never imagined I'd find a poem I'd really like (I'm picky when it comes to poems).
