“Star”
As I look at a star, shining so bright.
I know that the world is beautiful no matter what.
Flickering in the sky is that ball of light.
Knowing it can never disappear is everything to me.

A star is hope for me.
The hope of the life I lead.
Even if a tree might block my way,
I know I will succeed.

Though there is dread in our hearts.
That star reminds me of the hope.
So I go ahead threw this mess in life,
For I know there is a star at the end.

Even if life is evil hard and cold,
I understand that the star remains so bright.
Mold might spread from one side to the other,
But that star is still in sight.

So if you learn anything from me today,
I wish you would remember,
That a star leads your way
Everyone is okay.


lately life has been difficult. i wrote this poem in hope that there is a star ahead.

I liked the message in the poem... but... the beat didn't seem consistent to me. And also, most of the time you went from rhyming lines two and four, but on some stanzas you skipped rhyming altogether. I think there were a few too many syllables in the second and fourth lines of the first stanza, too. Because there's ten syllables in the first one, then thirteen in the second, eleven in the third - and that's good, and then sixteen in the last. It's just to long of a jump in my opinion, so, because of that, the poem didn't have a steady beat. The gap between syllables within a stanza needs to be small, like one or two.

Amazing meaning though. The wording of it could just use some... tweaking, maybe? I don't know. It's your poem, so therefor, your decision.
