Just Be You

You strive so hard to grasp that burning star
Though so close, it eludes your grip with ease
Leaving your hand with naught but a scar
As you try so hard to constantly appease

Your god gazes with that watchful eye
Sometimes you fail and crash to the ground
Tears are shed, for then he will cry
Reaching his hand to turn you around

Try not to obtain a star of the sky
Instead just live one day at a time
Try not to obtain a star so high
And one day that star will chime

That day you will no longer fall down
You will be you, for that is all you are
No need to dwell on worries and frown
You will be you, and that is up to par

About this poem:
Often times we strive to reach the stars, but I have learned that if I focus on just being who I am, the star will reach for me.
