FALLING STARS ✨ Poem, by antra.coree, at My poetic side

If you must fall,

Then fall like a shooting star—

So that even those who watch you fall

Still find you beautiful.

People love

Watching shooting stars fall,

But only to watch them—

Not to catch them.

And then there is you...

Sitting there, hoping

That those people might piece you back together.

But they are only watching your fall

While making wishes of their own.

So if you must fall,

Don't fall for their eyes.

Fall for yourself—

So that you can rise again.

Break in a way

That keeps shining,

And hold a silence

That echoes for a long time.
