Follow Your Own Star

Looking back at the.
The fractured past.
Of a tortured artist.
Has got to be.
One of the hardest things to do.
Yet alone.
Live through.

It's all pain.
With absolutely no gain.
For a while.
You just have to find a way to sift through.
All of the garbage that's been handed to you.
And find a diamond in the rough.

You need to calm down.
And just trust in yourself.
Trust that what you're doing is right.
And that your future is bright.
Despite your past.
Because the present doesn't last.
And the future is uncertain.
Unless you're determined.
To make your own way.
And to live another day.
