Gazing At the Stars

I see everything when I gaze
at the stars
I see the world at its best and at its worst
I laugh out loud 
for all the times in front of my elders I accidently cursed
I gaze at the waves of water
wondering if they will ever clash down on the drama 
that seems to stop the dreams of so many
I wish peace on torn promises
sadly there are plenty
there I stand hypnotized by truth
the one who controls my every burning desire within
I become one with the air... I take a deep breath
and just ride the wind
letting nothing get me down 
for I was born to go and be so high
