Poem : When will my star shine


  

When will my Star Shine

Why do I feel alone
Whilst surrounded by people Those who care or pretend to anyway
Which ones are which
I’m afraid to ask ..lest I know to my dismay .

 Weighed down by my frustrations
Unfulfilled promises to myself ..others .
Desires wishes –still in dreamy nation
And many Points to prove .

And un-answered questions ..
Do I have the right tools ..Or has the toolbox changed .
Am I doing the right things
And importantly how do I smile thru it all .

 The tide seems against me
Pushing be back
2 steps forward , then 3 steps back .
Some silver linings ..followed by black . 

Where do I find the strength ?
Friends  , family  people who care
Sympathy , advice , encouragement are standard fare .
Books , blogs  and internet  .
Inspiring words are not rare .
Seems like I’m clutching at straws
Are these not enough ?
Or enough only  not cooked but served raw .

Do I need to look elsewhere ?
Maybe within
Seems like that stores depleted ,
Like Mother Hubbard’s kitchen

I tell myself .I am smart
I ‘ll figure it out
But only the questions are clear ,
While sadly the answers are not .

 
Lord , when will this tide turn ,
When will my star shine .
What you say the stars are already shining
Looks like you are right
But please tell me how do I find mine .
