After,School

The celestial bodies ....
They witnessed my feet on the sand 
becoming mutual with the hard rocks .

My red blood and sweat 
They saw my inability to choose something else.

The nights with shiny eyes in the sky  
sometimes abruptly shooting to offer me a wish sometimes 
I declined 
I declined.

And now here comes the time 
where thine discernment also arrives
choices about my life 
of others they hope to make mine.
