Ireland Kelly

My name is Ireland McEndree Kelly, I live in Glendora, California. I don't remember when I started writing but I began this book in the beginning of freshman year. I've dealt with mental health issues throughout my life and I express my feelings through words, ink and taps on the keyboard to make words onto the page. I am so blessed to have been able to make all this possible with the help of so many people. I was starchild for so long, until suddenly, you have to let it go. Suddenly, you be the moon, in order to survive.

PROLOGUE

Star’s POV

I beg that you listen

I beg that you smile

For I did not do both those things

Worthwhile

I beg that you don’t end up like me

And that you see

The light that love brings

And all those other things

That make you feel alive

Just don’t die

Only at the right time

When your aged, and happy

And had accomplished plenty

I beg of you

Don’t give into the monster that grows among few

Of us who have sadness inside

Thrive, my fellow angels

You are only human once.

STARCHILD’S RISE AND FALL

Lullaby to Moonchild

Your face is lit with the life of the wind

And your heart with full of the light from our love

And our damaged minds repair themselves

Each time we hold hands

In the moonlight of midnight we breathed
