Counting Stars

Mistakes done, lessons learned

Lots have built, parts have burned

Met fellas, got few friends

Still counting the stars in ever-changing trends.

Facts are known, fictions erased

Sometimes startled, sometimes amazed

Fathomed the world while living in the streets

Still counting the stars adjusting their greets.

Alarmed by many, warned by few

Enjoyed the boon, have suffered the shrew

Walked the path and reached the end

Still counting the stars and the messages they send.

Lots have forgone, less have relieved

But counting stars changed what I believed.
