What if the stars fell down tonight?
And we caught them flying around?
Blinking and signalling
Like fireflies
Joyfully dancing
In a crystal blanketed night

Despite the title
I'm made with blue berries
That bleed a red hue
Into the sea

Leave me drowing in the whirlpool of blades
Add sugar, creamer, and milk to celebrate my defeat

Against the blades I stand, I see a red leave my body
But the red turns to pink as it touches the sea

The crowd cheers for the strawberry milk
But only blueberries know the blood polluting the sea

Keep my nose down
Lift my chin up
Smile a half smile
Breath
Just Breath

This goes for a time
When days felt short
The minutes felt long
Outside our porch

This goes for a time
When trees stood still
When eyes were locked
And lips touched

This goes for a time
Sleepless nights
A giggle in the morning
A lie in the night

This goes for a minute
A second
Just a second
Please

The strength the push
The strength to absolve
These mountain I find in my path

A protein shake
And some running shoes
A fire left for dead

Kindling
One by one
Steps
One foot in front of the other
By the end of May you will find

A strength like no other

One month
Another failure
It's time to sleep today

One week
And I tried
It's time rest tonight

One day
I'll see
I have to try

One more day

One more night

Is it my fault
that the sun rises every morning
and wakes me up from my cursed slumber

Is it my fault that I lift my legs with every ounce of courage
In hopes that it may be rewarded

Is it my fault I hurt so much inside
