Constellations

These actually turned out to be song lyrics, hence the chorus.

Diamonds of a different kind

Glitter spilling on my paper

Shooting all the reasons why

To quit, they've erased it and I

See the shadows I'm hiding behind

Brighter than the gleam in my eyes

I find

I collect a jar of stars

Reach out my skinny fingers and

Touch the constellations

Find the inspiration and I

Reach out my lonely hopes and

Feel the constellations

Give me inspiration

To write

Jewels with peculiar faces

Melodies and rhymes so jaded

Fall in line, play the songs I write

Infuse another life

I collect a jar of stars

Reach out my skinny fingers and

Touch the constellations

Find the inspiration and I

Reach out my lonely hopes and

Feel the constellations

Give me inspiration

To write

I think I know them, know these faces

The voices of my reason

I think I saw them in these places

Lighting me a million watts a second

Forever cemented in my mind

I collect a jar of stars

Reach out my skinny fingers and

Touch the constellations

Find the inspiration and I

Reach out my lonely hopes and

Feel the constellations

Give me inspiration

To write
