Poetry

After reading Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig, I was inspired to write a poem of sort. I call it “Galaxy”. See beyond the sky There are galaxies vast and wide The stars are beautiful You hardly see the dark Now, look inside your mind It’s dark and cold But if you look hard enough There are lights waiting for you Your mind is a galaxy There are more darkness than lights But try to really see Without the dark you can’t appreciate the light Memories of grandma laughing in her last moments As your grandpa feeds her the birthday cake When you joined your first company When she said yes to the cheap ring you can barely afford These are stars in your galaxy Circling the black hole at your heart Now it’s your turn To be a star in someone else'
