Among the Stars

I see our futures being made
The stars scattering the sky
Making images
Of what could come

Our hearts
Speak to us
Through the rhythm of the drums
The beats bring us to life
Our hearts become alive
With emotion
The faster the beat becomes

The voices in our heads
Tell us the truth
That we don’t want to hear
Nightmares
That we don’t want to remember
They are our best friend
But we hate
The reality they force us to see
The reality of our fears
Our scars
Our desires

The fiction we live is
Is what we believe to be fake
A dream
A nightmare
It shows us our truths
And of others
We just don’t want to believe
We turn it away
Calling it the fiction we live in
Our dream
Our nightmare of our lives

We used to be
The tall trees that touch the sky
The ghosts in the haunted houses
The angels that people prayed to for guidance
The ancient ones that created the history
We are the past
The present
And the future

We hear a silent melody
That only we can hear
A melody that tells of sorrow
Of pain
Of happiness
Of loss
We hear a silent melody
That only we can hear
So we can help those
Who need us most

When we look at the stars
We think of our dreams
Our hopes
And our futures
And every time we look up at the sky
We send our silent dreams
Hopes
And futures
Among the stars
Wishing
That one day they will come true
