The Boy With Stars In His Eyes

Once there was a light,
A small bright light,
It shone for the boy
With stars in his eyes -

Little did he know,
He had a such a long way to go,
That people coveted him though
He never really got to know -

Things panned out,
It seemed make-believe,
He started finding out
Things weren't what it seemed -

He went away a while,
To hide and gain respite,
But he found more,
Somethings he had been looking for -

He wasn't sure of his desire,
He wasn't sure of the need,
How does one choose?
Reality or his heart on his sleeve -

Where will he go?
And where will he reach?
This puzzle so nearly complete,
Somewhere good and somewhere
Back to his place with the stars.
