Trying to smile
Trying to be everyones light
Trying to be happy
Trying to survive
Trying to be someone im not
Trying to make everyone else happy
If i try enough
And make everyone else happy
Maybe one day i will truly be

I was born of clouds and dust
I have been here 13.5 billion years
The stars around me are all connected
But I am only one
I will die in 4.5 billion years
My sun is gorgeous
But she likes to stay alone
I watch everyone circle her
And wish I was one

When love fails
You have your friends
You have so many people
So why worry about the person who left?
They aren't good enough for you
If they left you they don't deserve you
Why can they go perfectly fine
And leave us broken?
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them see you fall
Rise above the pain
And look at the future

There is a small glimmer of light
Hold onto it
It will get you out
That light is the last hope
Go towards it
Keep it close
Keep it until more light comes through
Then grab that light
And then hold it close
Soon there will be more light
So much light you cant see
That is the day that you will be filled with glee

I'm not her
she is pretty
I'm sun worn
She is kind
I am harsh
She never speaks her mind
I don't care how you reply to mine
She is perfect
I am far from it.

So this is us
Never meant to be
There is only you
And only me
There is no we

The struggle of life will press and press
until one day there is no place to stress
Until one day it has no place to go
For I am gone and no one knows

Don't touch
Can't touch
Stay away
Won't touch...
Just let me see
The person who means
The world to me

You will remember the poem from your childhood
The one that says sticks and stones will break my bones...
But your words will never hurt me...
Well it's not true
The words hurt more than the stones
The worst words are the words let go
Let go he doesn't love you
Let go she's gone
Let go
Let go
Let go
I'm gone
I've drifted off
Into the sky
They place where words can't reach me
And the pain is not so high

Everyone can be a clown
The people who present as clowns
At the circus
At a birthday party
Or in public
They all have secrets
They all have a dark memory
Some more than others
Some of them have been abused
Some have been scarred
But you will never know
You will only see a funny
Lovable person
Under that makeup
A clown is a person
They will want to be loved
So don't you discourage
And make them feel as though they are not worthy
Make them feel loved
Loved as loved could ever be.

Told to smile be and to be happy,
but, why?
My sadness won't hurt you
you only care for I have told you
if I had not said a word you would not have noticed
so why now pretend as you worry?
Is it only because people are looking?
Is it only because people can see?
I know as soon as everyone is gone
you will stop "caring"
So stop pretending
Find someone who will care
