روايات وقصص ضمن I Am Like A Star Shining Brightly

I sniffed not minding the tears making their way out now. "Start from anywhere. I am here to listen." Standing up, I walked towards the window staring out into the dark night. The sky looked beautiful dotted with the sparkling stars. Sometimes I wish I was a star, just being part of the reason the sky lights up every night. Should be enough than this lonely life of mine.

I was still doodling in the sky when Luna came along. “Hey, sweetheart. What are you doing?” she asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. “Staring at my sister,” I smiled. Confusion clustered on Luna’s face. She was going to ask what I meant. “The brightest star among others in the sky is my sister. You are the light that shines on my shadowed life. You are the beauty that glows in my clouded heart. You are my crescent moon, my Luna,” I expressed, placing my hand on hers on my shoulder. With that, she wrapped her arms around my shoulder and hugged me from behind.

Her eyes pierced to mine and I swear its causing me to be shy right now. "Those eyes of yours are like stars. Have you ever sat outside at night and gaze up to the sky to watch the stars?-" I asks and she nods. "The beauty of the shining stars in the sky at night fits the description of your eyes. There's so much beauty in your eyes that it's almost blinding me right now. I guess if I stare too much, I'll get addicted to it and won't want to blink for a second".

That bastard didn’t deserve my tears, how could I so blind to see his real face? I was also like those stars who had the ability to shine even in the morning but they become invisible behind the brightness of the sun so people only acknowledge their value when it’s dark. Exactly, like I did with Abhiman, he was always there for me all the time like those invisible stars. But I chose to hide behind those temporary black clouds, neglecting the fact that at some point they will also move away and clear the ambiguity. I screamed, sobbed and cried my heart out.

"But---" "No buts, sing for me now. " even if I felt I suck, I pick up the guitar he gave me. As I stared upon the guitar, the memories inside the gym came up into my mind again. Whenever I see this guitar, I always remember him. "Hey! Can you sing? It's okay if you w---" " You are the light that cause me shadow, You are the glitters that sparkles me, Even if you feel you're dim, You still shines, in your spotlight.

'The Iridescent Stars; mmh… Typical of tonight. Nneoma read the poem, her voice smooth and steady. I gaze up the night sky What meet my gaze? Myriads of shinning stars They shine like iridescent diamonds Diamonds of sublime beauty They twinkle and shine, twinkle and shine. Giving light to all nocturnal creatures The brilliant stars tell me Tales of life yonder They tell me of great meadows With yew trees, yew trees with amber Fruits, of azure rivers ever flowing Of golden fishes ever swimming

And I thought I saw you out there crying And I thought I heard you call my name And I thought I heard you out there crying But are we all lost stars Trying to light up the dark? But are we all lost stars Trying to light up the dark?

Lashe asked. “Because they help each other shine, none of them actually shines than the other” Ibukun replied and Lashe smiled. At first, he really didn’t understand but he understood better now. A lot of people had helped him shine, his fans, his grandma, Uncle Sam, everyone around him and most important Ibukun. “There’s why you’ll never hear a star in the night sky” Ibukun added as she sighed and continued talking. “They always say STARS IN THE NIGHT SKY”

Her brows furrowed faintly, almost like she was holding back emotion. “You’re not a burden, Skylar. You’re a blessing.” She blinked slowly, taking in my words. “You’re like one of these stars,” I said, pointing upward. “You don’t really see how bright they are until everything else gets dark. That’s how you are. All the things you’re going through, the pain, the confusion… it’s not meant to break you. It’s meant to show how bright you can shine.” Her lips parted slightly. She breathed, almost like she was still processing. Then I heard her whisper, as if to herself, “I’m a star.”

Whenever papa heard about it, he would always remind us that we were unnamed stars in the sky because we were still on earth, but he bets we will be the brightest in the sky at night. Blake was not happy with my answer, and I sighed at the thought that he would surely ask me about it later. No one would choose a dying star, but I have my reasons. Right now, I was a star exploded many times but in the most beautiful way. I have so much energy with me, brighter than any other stars, glowing with too much love from him. I answered Stella’s call while I was walking back to my bedroom. “Hi, S!” I greeted as I pushed the half-open door, then locked the doorknob.
