I Catch Stars in the Palm of My Hand


I Catch Stars in the Palm of My Hand

It is 'Anti-Bullying Week 2019'. I was badly bullied during my time at secondary school. I want to share a poem of mine with you called 'I Catch Stars in the Palm of My Hand'.

The message behind this poem is that despite how large the world may seem, you are special. Do not let your bullies make you think otherwise. You are creative, funny, passionate, determined and beautiful, and no one has the right to make you think otherwise. Be brave to tell someone and always believe in yourself.

I Catch Stars in the Palm of My Hand

I catch stars in the palm of my hand
Little fires shimmer with a silent boy who proved his mind was loud
Bigger jewels expand with cannulas, stool samples, a stomach of spikes
Some as fat as planets circle a man lying in bed with legs as stiff as stone
While others darken with thoughts of taking one leap into the unknown
Then there are others which shine so bright with hope
Each and every star is a memory, a moment, shouting
Despite how gigantic the world may appear, we are not small
We are special.
