Rising star
You shine so bright
As I wake up from my long slumber
I can’t help to wonder
What’s the world been up to

The days go by and there’s no lapse in time
I’m closed off to the world
In fear that I won’t be accepted
For who I am

I rather blame everyone
Than confront my own demons
It’s easier that way
To live in denial
To live in delusion

I mourn the death of my old self
Living in the past is so exhausting
I try and I try to move on
But who the **** knows
When my time will arrive

I wish I had the ability to change
If I don’t love myself
I’ll just morph into the societal norm
I’ll just be somebody else

I’m cheated of happiness
I’m cheated by my own mind
And I always wonder
If someone out there
Will ever love me
Forever love me
But the night brings darkness
And it’s time to close my eyes
And wait,
If tomorrow will ever come
