I am a star in the sky
My true potential lays hidden
As till my lips I am drown deep
And sinking in marshy darkness
The more I try to be out;
Like a spring is tied to my heart;
(To and fro, to and fro
And I am where, I was, back…)
Only five fingers of palm
Can be seen faintly as in
A child’s color book.
People pass me by, as if I am a drawing
They appreciate me, as if I am a drawing
And I show them the way, as if I am a drawing
Of a child, and the way to imagination
Or destination, doesn’t make a difference
Although I am always captured by darkness
And hence I give directions to lost travelers.

Humm..very deep and thoughful work by the poet..I love it...well done..and my thanks for sharing such a wonderful write ...

I really like the last two stanzas - I think that they are beautifully written and very emotive... I really enjoyed this poem - although there was one line that I thought could be revised: 'As till my lips I am drown deep' to make it flow more like the rest of the poem - but that is just my opinion (and I could be wrong
) - I wish you the best in the contest!
Keep writing
Polly
