when the sky is empty..

 

 

 

 

As i sat down in a dark corner one late night,

Lit my cigarette and suck as much smoke as i can.

I look up and stare at a starless sky,

I wonder where the stars could possibly be.

I realize that life is like this endless black space.

It is not always gleaming with bright bits of light.

Sometimes it is empty.

Life is full of contradictions.

 Sometimes it puts us in situations we didn’t wish for.

But it is also something we can control.

We all have to make choices.

Our choices help build our destiny.

Play and fight for what you want.

Gamble to have a better life.

And sometimes, hold back.

To preserve and protect what you already have.

And as I exhaled the toxic smoke,

I stayed still in the dark corner,

thinking what lies ahead.
