Be the Chaperone of My Entity.

I walk barefoot down this darkened road
And feel the past rain underneath my feet.

I inhale; allowing the moisture fills my lungs with every breath.

With my face directed to the stars above me,
I allow these constellations direct me to where I’m headed.

My mind is clear, thinking of absolutely nothing else,
But the discovery that inspiration is beyond my persona.

These twinkling lights posses my trust,
Allowing their guidance to take me towards the unknown.

I close my eyes, and believe in the security they’ll instill inside of me.

My heart beats; steady, calming and controlling my pulse.

Whenever I’m in need of guidance,
These refracting lights will be all the persuasion I need.

That was once upon a time, when the stars would show their faces.

They’d shine brightly through the skies,
And light up my darkened road, ever so lightly.

Just enough to grant me a sense of knowledge;
To know where I’m headed, and to look back to where I once was.

Recently, these stars have hidden,
For they have found something better and more appreciative to shine on.

My trudging steps down this road become heavier and heavier.

Tripping in holes in the road,
And stumbling upon branches, broken off of other trees.

I must admit, I yearn for those stars,
Which aided me through this path.

Lighting the way so I wouldn’t stumble,
Or to let me know that the fall down wasn’t so long.

I’ve always been grateful of those stars,
Just never been the one to show it in public.

I was afraid that if I showed my reliability,
It would make it more vulnerable to be broken.

I stop, noticing a split in the road.

The heels of my tattered jeans are now soaked,
A result from walking through cold puddles.

I’ll close my eyes, pondering on which decision to make
Holding my breath, counting my heartbeats.

In hopes that when I open my eyes,
The stars will be back to shine brightly upon me.
