Clumsy in Mom's heels,
Curious toddler wanders
Clown-faced, smeared in rouge.

I've been fighting to survive my entire life.
Just trying to stay alive
But I forgot the most important thing
surviving is not the same as living.

And I don't want it to be over,
because that means no more sunsets,
and I've never really liked the feeling of the sunrise,
It's too familiar.
And washes out my favorite stars,
The ones I wished on,
because I wished for you,
and all the sunrise brings is ungranted wishes,
and unfinished poetry.

My mistake
Was loving you too hard.
My regret
Was never telling you
That I needed love back.

Think of a dream you'd wish would come true
Now close your eyes and count to three
Wait a while and you'll see
The thing you dream of will soon be
In arms reach
