Not By The Stars

I am worth
STARS.

And I don't mean
the sparkly
little
specks
that we see
when we look
at the sky.
I am talking
about the
celestial
flaming
orbs of light
that become
SUNS.

I am talking
the centers of
galaxies.
These beautiful
Heavenly
masses
that we just can't
see clearly
(not nearly enough)
from here on earth.
But if we could fly,
as we'd get closer,
worlds would appear.
Each with their own people
languages
governments
societies
religions
laws
lives.
And suns.
Which we call
stars.

I am worth
stars,
not a few.
My own glory,
when I am not
personally smothering it,
shines twice as
brightly as any
star's light.

Let it shine!
"This is mine!"
Own it.
Be proud.
Love the life
you're given,
and never
ever
forget
what you're worth.
Not by the stars.
