We continue to lie to ourselves thinking We're a bright star in another's constellation At least I do I think too much My hopes have a mind of their own and They enjoying raising without reason I keep too much to myself A blessing and a curse I wish you knew me the way I knew me But I honestly think that maybe I don't know me This keeps happening Without a rhyme or reason At least I think this is true But keep in mind I think too much The cloud above my head is gaining color The burdens shoving their ankles into my shoulders They don't care if I'm hurting And neither do you This poem ***** I don't write like I used to Maybe that's where I'm going wrong Life was good at the peak of my writing Life was simpler That was when I was that bright star And now I'm not And the words don't spill out like they did Not anymore If I'm not a bright star Maybe I'm swirling around with other stars With dimmer stars Maybe I'm just a speck of dust Maybe I'm not even in view If I don't know me How do I expect for you to know me It's a ridiculous request But my heart and hopes don't think so I'm not going to beg for your attention But please That's all I ask Why aren't I visible in your sky
