Before I was a bright star I was a meteor

  Floating

           Floating 

Through an endless dark home. 

I was surrounded by silence, 

Not knowing there was a way out

Freedom and happiness was drowned out by the darkness of the sky

My life seemed to only get longer. 

Then one day I was pulled towards a purple swirling hole

Soon I was sucked down into a bright light. 

My heart said no,

but my eyes said yes

They longed for a shine and perfection. 

I started being pushed and pulled,

I struggled to keep all that was left of me 

to-ge-ther. 

My body lashed about,

Not controlling what was left of me. 

I collapsed under pressure,

Not finding a path. 

Then I changed, 

I had started glowing. 

My soul cleansed and my body pieced all together, 

Yet it was different,

I was a shining star for the whole world to see. 

Then I realized

That you have to shine while you can,

Shine for the whole world to see. 

To get to your next destination, 

you have to travel through the darkness.
