Being away from so many people

and being isolated,

lost

lonely

cold

afraid.

Sometimes when you cry for help

no one listens until it's too late

cry means nothing but attention

they don't know the broken pieces.

Not knowing where to go or who to look for

and being drowned by self hate

lost in the void of anger and pity

no one listens or helps

Broken because of yourself

throwing yourself away

No longer caring about mental health

the darkness consumes the vulnerable.

You know the feeling of when you've lost sight of yourself?

You don't know where to go

you can't ask for help

you are afraid

and then they say follow your heart?

See, they want you to follow yourself

because you shine just like anyone else

You are your own star in dark times

the way you have that glow to your smile

Stars are millions of miles away

and maybe you are too

that's okay

You don't have to figure out who you are today

or tomorrow

Stars explode after so much pressure

but they are still beautiful

Shinning in the darkness doesn't sound easy

but it sure sounds worth it

I don't think you should miss out

Being your own star is inspiring

Don't be afraid to embrace your star

because you are beautiful.

Her hair flows perfectly down the sides

something my hair never did.

Her eyes shine bright blue like the sky

the way my eyes never could.

She was beautiful and you told her she was

you also told me I was too.

Now you think that I am a waste of time

and she was the light of your life.

I wanted to be her

Her hair

Her eyes

Her smile

Her laugh

I wanted you to look at me like that

but sadly

I'm not her.
