Running into the stars

angry words
twisted frowns
a lonely child watches from afar
her wet eyes implore silently
as she sinks
slowly but surely
into the ground
taken by despair
and she is gone.
Her face upturned
in final moments
to winking stars
why couldnt she be among them? dancing, shining, happy
but too far to be hurt.


The author's comments:
My life is what inspired me. This represents how I feel when it seems like my family is falling apart around me, but it can represent any situation where someone wants to escape, get away from life.

i've always seen my poems as rather simple. They're really just my emotions, all poured out into words. I didn't mean to put any "depth" into it.. it just happened, i  guess.
