Under the Stars
Time feels as if it will never end
The day will try to exhaust you
But stare up at the stars
And one thing stays the same
The comfort like a weighted blanket
The feeling of flight
As if you can be anywhere
Days pull you down like a sinking ship
Check the stars to calm you
As the sun sinks its heels into the dirt
The stars rise with a golden glisten
Close your eyes and think of the fading summer skies
Under the stars you lie
Your body relaxes as the grass pushes on your clothes
And the only thing you can see is the world above
I promise you the sandman will come
And steal away your grief for a small time
As you sink in deeper and deeper
You feel nothing
Except the pressure
Under the stars
