Miracles in Disguise

Wishes upon a star?

My pleas must be piled up

on a fiery ball of gas

That's really as they are

taking my dreams,

making promises they can't keep,

hateful stars

letting my beautiful wishes

lie in a messy heap.

Stars are supposed to be beautiful

miracles in disguise,

miracles in the skies,

But really if you take away the mask of lies,

all you see is

the discarded, torn dreams

and wishes,

ripped at the seams.

I will set them free.

Those broken dreams

I will mend them,

put them together,

those beautiful wishes,

I'll send them off with kisses.

When I die,

and leave my mortal life,

I want to become a wishing star,

one that does its job.

I will prevent the sobs

of a human heart's cracking.

What the liars are lacking,

is a soul.

I will be the brightest star,

the brightest, the best,

soon I will grant the wishes,

make the dreams come true,

just wish upon the brightest star

maybe I'll choose you.

Finally, at least one star

really is a miracle in disguise,

a miracle in the skies,

only to be seen

by the saddest eyes.

"When I die,

What the liars are lacking,
is a soul." Beautiful piece, Sophie! Very well written and with a wonderful flow. Thank you.

What a brilliant take on a seemingly innocent ritual. I love that you've taken something totally childlike and turned it into trauma!! It's thinking like this that will set you apart from the masses.

This is something else! Wow!

About time, I could use a star like that :)
