Allegory of the Stars
My aspirations were like grand constellations
Plucking one dream after the next
Then came the Big Bang of adolescence
With every burning goal
Came a larger person
To put it out
A burnt out star
Somehow escaped the allegory of the cave
Just because one pair of eyes
Refused to fathom the magnitude of my passions
Could not throw me off
My axis of dedication
The world rotates at roughly 1000 miles per hour
Almost as fast as I strive to believe in myself
