When I look up at the stars,
I just don't see little lights.
I see a world of possibilities,
That can take flight.
I know I am just hoping,
That my dreams take flight too.
Hope is a risk,
I am willing to take,
In order to accomplish,
All that I want to.

I want my dreams to come true,
And not fall like some stars.
My dreams are not made of gas,
Like stars,
And wont fade with time.

My dreams.
They will keep on living,
After my time.

Well done. Keep up the good work. I like the metaphors. Your Rhyme was a little off, but other than that it was good:)

I see a world of possibilities, I am sure you can make this less direct and boring. How do you see a world of possibilities, what am I supposed to think of? Or is it (mystery) Any old one will do. You pick. That kind imagery.
That can take flight. Worlds take flight? That doesn't make a lot of sense. Considering the way you have it punctuated, you may want to remove that comma after possbilities.
I know I am just hoping, I think you should put hope is like a risk that I am willing to take, here. Then play with your surrounding lines to make it fit. I believe that would make it better and a more relatable sense of what is happening.
That my dreams take flight too.
Hope is a risk
I am willing to take,
In order to accomplish, If you're taking a risk, I think it is safe to assume you're trying to accomplish something. And you should also try being less direct, like I said before. This is very up and in your face and that's just boring.
All that I want to.
I want my dreams to come true,
And not fall like some stars. The some, pretty much ruins it. You shoud replace some with all.
My dreams are not made of gas, Where is the flow and interconnecting ideas? Yeah, it's all about your dreams and the risks and hope involved in doing nothing. It goes from descriptions of what vague possibilities you see, then to the, also vague, risks you're going to take, then to your talk of dreams, which is also vague. In what ways are these things happening.
like stars,
And wont fade with time. You should try a more complex comparason, my dreams are stronger than the stars, that light broken dreams to paths of realisation. Something like that, that can be used in more than one way. Depending on how you go about using your other ideas. Like mentioning buildings and other parts of the city and using them in comparason, this line would give the impression of being on a darkish, scary, broken road. Or something like that, and it becomes a much more useful line.
My dreams.
They will keep on living,
After my time. I still don't know what your dream is, but I am getting the idea that it's to be a star or something of the sort? And the poem hasn't really talked about being forgotten or anything like that, so this ending seems a bit out of place.


Over all, there needs to be a story, a fluid chain of events for us to follow, not from one type of description to another. Like if I told you my thoughts on a tree falling and I simply tell you what's around and what I see, like the sky and the ground, and what it's like to walk on that ground. Which is not preticurally clear on what I am trying to say. then I say, I wish that I never fall.

There needs to be similes and metaphors, those are a huge help to us, when it comes to relation and getting the big picture.

Also, I don't know if what you're mentioning is what you should be mentioning to get your point across. And try a little less cliche approach than my dreams > stars.

Sorry if I made no sense near the end. (OR anywhere else for that matter.)
Good luck, keep writing.

A simple piece, but very, very heartfelt! I like the reassurance you give yourself at the end of the poem:

"My dreams.
They will keep on living,
After my time."

However, my favorite lines are the first three! "A world of possibilities"--simply beautiful!

Keep it up!

I felt like certain words were repeated too closely together, and some of the rymes didn't flow quite smooth. But I love the message behind it. Work on it a tiny bit and you'll have somethig beautiful ^-^
