Stars are meteorites
in the midnight sky

Stars are meteorites
How far does the sky reach?
Way up high?
Or does it fall away
into milky, creamy, nothing?
Do we know?
We think so
but it’s not true
all an illusion
the sky could go on forever
blue sky melting into black
black, black nothing
or white nothing
which is better?
Have you ever seen a shooting star?
And made a wish?
I have, it never came true
because that star was a meteorite
sent to destroy me
destroy you
and we wished on it
and it never came true
and we cried and asked why
but we knew
magic isn’t real
wishes aren’t real
they’re dead
like hope
because shooting stars
are meteorites.
What if you could go up?
Beyond the stars and the sun?
Where would you be?
Far away from life
that’s where
because you’d be in the nothingness
nothing, nothing, nothing
because space is a word
and it’s not real
because nothing is real
we’re tricked and robbed
illusions, all illusions
and where it’s dark, that’s nothing
but when your room is dark
that’s nothing too
and we’re surrounded by nothing
and we think we know where we are
but we don’t
because darkness is nothing.
Because the sky reaches however far you want
and fades into nothing
and you watch the sky lit up with
thousands of flaming meteorites
and all the kids wishing
about to be destroyed
and somewhere, deep inside
you hope their wishes will come true

Your a good writer
But I don't really see the point of this poem
What is the plot behind it? You make it sound like there's know hope whatsoever. God made the world, the sky, so that we could explore it. Why would he make nothing?
95% would cry if they saw ROBERT PATTINSON (Edward Cullen - Twilight, New Moon) standing on top of a sky scraper about to jump. If you're one of the 5% who would sit there eating pop corn saying "DO A FRONTFLIP!!" copy this and paste it in your signature
There was once nothing... which exploded. So therefore, nothing is definatly something :) God made the nothingness :P

It's a great poem. A bit despairing, but I like how you added a touch of hope at the end :D

Awww... *sheds cyber tear* that's such a sweet, deep and quite frankly beautiful ending!
I also like how you positioned your stanzas :) It's creative and lets the mind rest... I suppose. *shrugs* I just like it :P

Thanks for all the comments, and also, I know that it doesn't really make sense that God would create nothing, I don't mean for anyhting to be offensive to you, I agree and everything, but I wanted to write about how shooting stars are metorites, so yah
