As the moon glazed the white surface of the palace,
Making it shine almost like glitter
I sat there looking at the stars above and city below.
As the seconds ticked away like the years of my life
And the once noise filled air settled like dust
I started to wonder of where I would go next.
…To the stars to reach the next level
Or back to my beginnings to prove myself once more?
For I once was down there in the slums fighting and struggling for every speck of hope,
And now being above them, I do wonder what is above me?
But having seen those who escaped the god forsaken land and got greedy
Fell back in. I know that caution is what my fallen forerunners lacked
And that is why I was able to rise above.
I do wish I went for the stars
And I will always wonder what could have been,
But for now, I shall sit on my windowsill and look at the ants below fight for the right to live
While I live out the rest of my time wishing upon a falling star hoping the answer will fall to me.
