Mirrored Star

They swirl amongst the sky, varying in sizes
too high to reach, yet too hard to defy.

In an enigmatic universe, the facade a lie
although an infinite number, there is mine.

Untouchable, unbreakable, it manages to stand
my attempt to imitate it holds on by a strand.

And as I walk amid the starry night,
I realise the depth of my might.

I have chosen the star that belongs to me
my star; as free as can be!
