I was always a near miss,
Always an almost, but never an always,
Sometimes a choice, often an option.
I hope for a place to belong,
But never search for it.
I dream of a fantasy,
Knowing it will never be reality.
I cry for the pain,
And long for the happiness,
Knowing that life is a road,
Full of dark edges.
I know I’m young,
I’ve got unlimited chances.
But life’s still a life,
No matter the choices.
It’s a daily struggle,
For the brightness that shines.
But life is the star,
In a sky full of darkness.
It shines in the night,
Hoping to give light,
But the twinkling sky,
Is just a beautiful sight.
Up close, you’ll see,
All the dark edges it holds,
All the struggles it took,
To be what it is today.
