I am like a fish out of water.
Yet it's too shameful to cry.
Struggling to breathe
Letting out as much as a sigh.

They know where they’re going
And brush past my shoulders.
Like a stream that never stops flowing
The water gets colder.

I will never see the end.
They're going places and they’re going far.
And I am who I am
But who I am is not who they are.

Am I a fish out of water
Or a failure to manipulate?
Am I going against the ordinary
before it is too late?

Is it the wrong way
If I choose to stay put?
Is it wrong to stay
If no one else could?

Maybe one day I'll push through them.

you are like a star
you're everywhere.
i can't stop seeing
you

you are like a star
you belong with everyone else
but you're
nothing like them.

you are like a star
you shine the brightest
and i don't see anyone else.
in my eyes anymore

in ways, you are like a star
you were always high above me
and knowing i could never reach,
i tried anyways.

maybe i am like a star
i am unneeded
the only outcome for people like me
is to burn out.

i am like a star.
tiny, insignificant and dim
there will always be someone
better.

i am like a star
i mean nothing to you
my only wish was to love you
like everyone else.

in ways, i am like a star
temporary.
and greed overcame me
as i tried to be good enough.

you were never like a star.
you were never like the rest.
in every way
you were the galaxy.

i am like a star
and when i'm gone
you will be okay
and you will still be here.

i am trying to move,
but the world tries harder.
i am trying to keep up,
but the world strays farther.

i will look away,
and everything remains.
i look once again,
and nothing is the same.

i never stop working,
yet they effortlessly win.
i say “have mercy,”
yet they move once again.

again and again.
will they never stop?
i hear the fast pace
of the clock's tick tock.

leave me behind
with everything around.
yet nothing in my eye
and no more sound.

i reach out my hands
my last attempt to try
but it seems clear

the world has left me to die.

you think about everything
but me.
(about the earth
and the flowers within it
the beauty that everything around you
beholds
the sun slowly enclosing the sweet plants
with a honey shade
and how at night the moon is but a blur
yet you still admire its alluring shine
the people that surround you
every last one of them as pretty
as an undying bouquet
and they make you endlessly smile
and see you at your finest
those that cross your mind,
you really do think about everything.

how i envy you because)

i think of nothing
but you.
(how i'm like the earth
always revolving around you lovingly
as if you were the sun
how the land that we walk in
is only beautiful because within it you
exist
helplessly staring at how your face looks
as golden rays paint your face
and even the sun itself admires you
no matter in moonlight or
sunny day
you always manage to outshine
i think everyone around you is pretty
but nobody could ever match you
you are my bouquet
but i am not of as much undying beauty
or enough
to make you smile
i'd die before i ever would cross your mind
maybe i think about everything too

cause it's you)
you're all it takes to be everything.
