North star


The world often is black in color

The blind judge what they can't see

Needs grow bigger while wants get smaller

Enough is enough, this darkness we must flee

 

Allow me to reveal some hope

Breathe, and look up high

There's a shining light in the dark sky

Learn to embrace and cope

 

No matter how you're judged

Don't let your priorities budge

The closer you get, the brighter the sky

If walking is too slow, i say fly

 

Problems may arise

Most seem to be in disguise

Reflect and know you traveled this far

All because you looked up...to see the North Star
