PolygonPat's Mate Decagon Star
Feelings of sadness often overwhelmed Decagon
Star, who spent a lot of time thinking and wondering.
Have I read enough books? Have I studied hard
enough? Have I done the best I can? Will I ever
become a famous person, a real star? Do I have any
real talents?
Decagon Star loved to read. Inside the pages of a
book, in a world of imagination you could transport
yourself to a million different places and just for one
moment you could be someone else.
Someone that no one could ever find. Someone who
was strong likeable and funny.
But deep down Decagon Star knew that there was
something wrong. Decagon Star thought that even
the pages of the books knew the thoughts of their
readers. Deep inside the belly of a book, the book
knew what was going on. Because books were all
knowing and appealed to their readers.
Decagon Star knew that without books life was non
existent and thought, If only I could keep reading,
living in the pages of someone's else's hopes and
dreams I would be fine. But what if I wanted to live
my own life. What if the books explained who I was.  
How do I work this out? Was there some secret
code hidden in the pages? Were were the clues?

Of all the books Decagon star had been reading
lately, dealing with emotions seemed to be a
common thread. The books helped a person feel it.
And by immersing yourself into the world of books
you could actually feel it. But not one of them actually
hugged, embraced or physically said hey Decagon
Star you really matter. You are a smart and clever
kid. You had to be in the real world for that to happen.

Sighing, Decagon Star realised that sometimes you
felt as though you knew nothing at all, you were a
nobody, if most of the time you lived through other
peoples feelings and never your own.

Decagon Star grabbed a dictionary and looked up
words related to emotions.
Love? Hope? Dreams? Happiness? What did they  
really mean? Becoming despondent Decagon Star
realised that there was so much more to learn.  
Decagon Star thought out aloud.
The past we cannot change. But we can change our
future by our own thoughts, actions and deeds.
