-Sylvia Plath


Desolate,
The moon still hangs
In the paling morning sky.
Stars have fled,
Leaving it alone to face the day
That brings with it
So much misery.
In the same way
The child was left alone,
Deserted by friends
In the face of hardship.
He stands tall to greet the sun
And all the agony it brings.
The boy swings his bag
Over his shoulder
And takes his first few steps
Down a new and lonely road,
Courageous as the moon.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

You're Welcome!

Me too. I've also written some cool stories about runaways and orphans and such. They make good, strong characters.
