Reaching For The Stars

In search I am,

Of those that twinkle so bright.

Soaring in the sky,

Shining with such might.

Is it left, is it right,

I just don’t know where to look.

My only chance to find,       

Would be to open and search my book.

Every step I take,

Pushes me closer to my destination.

Every move I make,          

Takes me away from procrastination.

Every word I speak,

Is a staggering declaration.

I know I can,

And that is my inspiration.

I’ve spent my whole life,

Wiping windscreens and cars.

It’s time to free myself,

From behind those steel bars.

The journey will be long,

But that, I know.

It doesn’t scare me this time,

I’m ready to glow.

I’ll take it easy,

One step at a time.

And know that I’ll reach there,

Cos this time it’s mine.

Ending the blood, sweat and tears,

My search is no more.

Little star in the sky,

You weren’t so far after all.
