Star

A Poem by Tara-Rist

Me.

i am nothing but a star
you look at it and say
how beautiful

i am nothing but a flame
that will soon burn out
and be gone

you gaze at me in awe
but only as a waste
there are more

i am pasted here
for a wasted pleasure
i'm not my own

i am nothing but a star
waiting to die out
just waiting
