Place in the Stars


You never really noticed how I
Cried myself to sleep at night

I've always been a loner
But I've never felt this alone

My world is collapsing on itself

Something inside me is gone
I look in the mirror
And no longer see the
Hopeful flicker that was there before

Please don't try to convince me otherwise
I am worth no more than the paper I am writing on

Have you noticed how I never look at the stars anymore?
It's because I realized I can never fly among them

Maybe this will earn me that place in the stars
Finally, I can fly from here

Please don't think this is your fault

Goodbye, think kindly of me

I will plague you no more
