I Told The Stars About You

I wrote this for somebody that I cared deeply for whom was going through a difficult time.

I TOLD THE STARS ABOUT YOU...

And that maybe sometimes when you are looking up at the stars they may make you feel small.

Please just take a look into my eyes I'll show you just how truly great you are.

I walked in the rain and looked up at the stars and told them about you...

How I wished you always knew your true value and worth, and how remarkably strong and intelligent and kind and beautiful you are.

Then I looked up at the stars and saw you.

I saw you battling to shine your light. Struggling to trust your own light so naturally bright, yet exhausted by a darkness that constantly tries to overpower you. You sometimes feel lost in the galaxy. Lost by this darkness. At times afraid, overwhelmed paralyzed, doubtful confused frozen small trapped and fading.

And how I wish that you could just reach out let go and just be. Floating freely and brightly amongst the other stars. Right there in the peace and calmness and light where you can just be you... The you that I can see.

Your story like a star, has fallen and risen so many times. Your resilience is incredible. Stronger than you may believe and more deserving than you may think.

I Iooked up at the stars and told them about you...

Then I saw your eyes looking back at me. I saw such beauty kindness and such sadness. And although I know right now this sadness is your truth and reality. I understand. I saw your pain tears fears questions and doubts, but I also saw your fire and strength, and as I do in your eyes smiling back at me even if just for a moment. Every vulnerability is a beautiful strength... I see you through it all.

Then for a moment you are the only star I see because it's the most beautiful one in the night sky.  Your heart and soul and mind have been trampled on continously by someone who can't see or doesn't want to see your value your truth and strength... Your story. Some can't handle your incredible light. Some can't let you just shine freely, because you would outshine everyone. Outshine them 

In that moment I wished I could reach up to hold you so close.... And then I'd let you go because you are your own person and deserve to feel free, controlled by nobody. Nobody's possession and prisoner.

I would hold you and whisper that Iove you and then gently throw you back into the sky... Trusting and hoping that when you are ready you will come back down by will and choice. For you.

Then one day look up to the sky and tell the stars about yourself...

How someone who felt so broken and trapped became one of the most beautiful stars to come back down and take another chance. To live, love, dance and be happy again.
