Shooting Star

Ever wondered what happens to a shooting star after it has been wished on by thousands of people?
It falls and stays alone
Thinking…
If someone was selfless enough to wish for him to be back in the sky.
People love the shoes i wear
But stay oblivious to the stitches it has. You see my shoes that just like me…
Careless going the distance and torn apart by the get together because giving up is never an option.
I am my old worn out shoes.
My mother has spent all her life keeping others before herself.
Finding the good, even in the people she hates.

My mother loves without expectations but has always met more disappointment than reciprocation.
I am my mother’s son…
Local trains carry more weight than they should. Still holding at every station for the…
Employee who is running behind schedule
For the lover who cannot be late for a second date
And the girl who cannot miss the last local
All piling up with an unsaid need on it.
Hi..I am a local train.
Mirrors show you a reflection the outer you that’s always smiling in
the inner you thats full of insecurities, pain, failure.
Mirrors gave you a chance to talk to yourself as they stand as listeners only to see you walk away later.
Living parts of you in them that will always remain.
Hi..i am a mirror…
Ever wondered what happens to a shooting star after it has been wished on by thousands of people. It falls and stays alone thinking if someone was selfless enough to wish for it to be in the sky again. Only to realize, no one was.
I am a fallen star…
