The Star's Lament


 

My boy wished on me every night, 

In joy, in rage, in fright. 

But where is my boy tonight? 

 

My boy is gone, for now he's a man. 

He won't wish on me, although he can. 

Oh come back, my boy, tonight.

I have wanted to be a writer since five years old and have spent my whole life working towards that goal. I've a strong imagination and when I set my mind to something, no one can stop me. My family history is rich and I am proud of my heritage, but also I am a proud, patriotic American. Speaking out for justice, freedom, liberty, and truth are important to me.
