I forgot to write the date but I'm sure this was during my CPA Board Exam Review (April-Sept 2005). The piece of paper I used is my scratch paper for computations. This was for someone I was very in love with that time. Of course, the feeling has been long gone. Actually, I just laugh at everything I went through that time. But I have to admit though, it took me a long while to recover from that. It was some kind of a complicated situation. I am just thankful that despite that, I passed the Board Exam. :D

THE STAR THAT WOULDN'T FALL
I saw a happy shining star
in the midst of a crazy crowd
I was captivated by its brightness
that I didn't want to miss its sight.
I have appreciated its beauty,
have fallen for it.
I hold dear in my heart
the magic its light brings.
In the darkness of the night,
it continues to show its presence.
In the brightness of the day,
it whispers with the wind.
In the sound of the pouring rain,
it sings the rhythm.
In the silence of the dawn,
it patiently protects.
I have loved the idea of the star
being a part of my life.
I lived with the thought
that it's the answer to a prayer
I didn't realize that in the process
I acted selfishly
I wanted it all for myself
I wanted to hold it in my hand
to be just beside me always.
I eventually lost it
I turned it away from me
In forcing it to stay, it left
It went back to the crazy crowd
where I first saw it.
It saddened me so much
that I felt lost most of the time.
I even came to a point of fearing people
of blaming them with the emptiness I felt.
Yet now,
I understand things as they are.
I reached for the star's help
and it happily extended its light to me.
In the crowd where it lives,
many have joined to share its brightness.
I still am most welcomed but
I don't think I can fit in.
I have to forgive myself first
I have to heal the wound I've caused myself
I have to accept that
it is the star that
wouldn't leave the sky just for me.
