All stars shine in darkness
But one star always stood out among the rest

Now, people call that star Day

*I hope it's shiny where you are
and I hope the light comes from you

. *. *. *. *. * . *. *
EVEN
DEAD
STARS
SHINE
*. *. *. *. *. *. *.

standing in a crowded room
i realized no one can actually protect me

no one will ever be strong enough
or caring enough
or sensitive enough

no one can **** my fears
or conquer them with me

because the thing that i needed saving from
is *myself

***** to stay sad
when people
expect you to be merry

This day
and the coming days
Gotta fake it

I can go on and on
From "Sorry's"
To "Thank you's"
And a lot in between

Lips sealed and tongue tied
I let everything unsaid

Not knowing
that though
my heart
can never be silent,

*It can never be heard either
