It's a little rough but I like the concept and self-realization.
I lay in the grass, feeling the cool prickle along my skin. Staring at the stars I begin to notice some that shine less bright. I imagine myself as one, sharing the sky with those far more prominent than myself. I still contribute to the night sky and its beauty but somehow less noticeably. I find myself creating a story for each star. I draw from each star an energy, I feel secure in my place. I now believe that I shine less bright merely because I am not at my bright point in life. I am not so prominent so that others may show their light and their success. A star always shines but it is only brilliant when it has matured and become secure in itself. I feel myself reaching for my goals rather than already achieving them. The reason I stand in the background is because my heart is not ready to contribute its full capacity to the world. I am nurturing my abilities to glow beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. I will succeed, I will be an amazing wife and lover, I will be my own person, I will live my own dreams.
