Black Star
I can’t live like this forever. I don’t fit. I know I’ll never be the one you want me to be. I can’t lie. I’d much rather hide. Take off the mask, the weight on your shoulders. You can’t last. This game is over. Just sit back. You can only go so far then you must face who you are, a black star. What’s the light you are withholding? Let it shine so dark and lovely. Peace comes when you’re no longer at war. So please love who you are, a black star. Don’t cry yourself to sleep. The world doesn’t value those who are unique. With their judgments they have blackened the sky. That’s why it seems you don’t shine, but you do and you are a black star.
