Star Status

Everybody wants to be a star

But where does one start?

Well first of all, in my eyes well deserve and can shine

But when I say star, do we have the same thing in mind?

I wonder…

But know that most people’s thought process isn’t like mine

Some say I’m higher, and some say I’m deep

So I’ll just give you a shovel and a ladder to either dig or climb

Maybe you can reach, to where you think I might be

But let’s get back on track…

Start status

Now how should I attack this?

You been told what a star is by the American popular habit

Most people call it television

Feeding gossip, lies, death, and whatever to anybody that will listen

And if you can’t watch, the magazines grab your mind so you believe everything that’s written

And these people have told you what a star is

And if you aint on the TV or a magazine, well you aint it

If you aint throwing money around they said, you aint rich

If you aint got the car or the bling then you aint worth shit

Hmmm…

The thing I realize is that these “stars” only have shine on the outside

Are they still a start without all the jewelry, clothes, and ride?

I’m not sure

But I never heard of a star buying their shine before

I have yet to have my eyes look at the sky at night and see a star put something on to shine

But maybe I just missed it right?

Well until my eyes find the right time

I will keep a stubborn mind that real shine comes from the inside

True shine comes from the heart

True shine bring light to a world that’s so dark

Shine is people spreading positivity to raise others higher

Shine is kids with lost dreams being reunited with ideas that inspire

Even bigger dreams than before

Shine is taking babies off the streets, giving them a home that’s secure

Showing the ones with lost hope there is something to live for

We caught up in the world we feel there’s no time

And in the midst of it all, we have lost our shine

We were made in God’s image and that’s how we supposed to live

You ever wonder why it feels so good when you give?

That when we help others things just feel right

Maybe when we do that, it turns on the light

But if you’re in the dark how you supposed to see this insight?

Well if it doesn’t reach your heart, keep it in ya mind

And hopefully it will seep down over some time

But anyways I leave you with this last line

Quit the selfishness we all star status… turn up your shine
