Star.

When I was younger, I used to think I was going to be a Star.

Under a spotlight where everyone knew my name...

I was five.

 

Now, I want shadows and to be as far away as possible.

Hidden and far from consequence,

And even further from myself.

Where my name is not a name,

But just another word without any true meaning.

 

When I was younger, I used to think I was going to be a Star.

Now, I want to disappear.

 

I should have jumped overboard when I had the chance.
