September 2020 Poem: Joseph’s Star

Help
I need it
I can’t live this
Confusing, harsh, and big world
I see the easy way out
Solving all my problems 
Leaving none
Here

Can
I do this
Can I climb out of
This trench six feet underneath
Reaching out and looking up
For when I go wish-
Ing on a
Star
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My
Shining star
Filled with hope and love
The ability to turn
Off those loud voices in my head
A balancing act 
A tightrope
Wire

The
Future un-
Limited with high hopes
Although the past, a dark cave
The future, an airplane, where
I can be soaring
Above the
Rest
