My star

Walking down
a dark alley street
you look around
and all that you can see

is old street lights flickering
on and off as if they could go out any minute
the nightly winds blow
and you can hear critters
roaming in the garbage beside you

you walk further down the alley
the more you walk the darker it gets
as if were expecting something
to just pop out at you

and just as you thought
something does pop out
it happens

not anything scary
in fact its not living at all
you look up
and there is a light surrounded by others

but this one is much brighter then others
this one stands out
you stare at it
and it flickers kinda of like the street lights

but you can count on this light
for you know it is never going out
and it will be there for you always
when ever you need it

i call it my star
for my star never lets me down
when i am lost
it takes me home

and when i am a little sad
i look up
and it is there
to make me smile

so go out
look for a star that stands out
but look twice because you might
confuse your star
with my star
