I always wonder why you don't need a car
You're up so high
I bet you see the whole world
Right there where you are
You shine so bright
Day and night
During the day you are one
At night all your friends
Come out to share the same spotlight
-
Which changes my perspective on the saying
"When Days are dark, Friends are few"
Like you I have many friends at night
Who's always trying to bring me down
Who never leaves without a fight
And when brighter days comes
They are nowhere in sight
-
Like you I need no car
To see the world
Because I'm up so high
Trying to escape the world
That I'm trapped in
During the day I am one
At night
At night is when all my "friends" come out to play
They tell me stories as I lay
About how I will never shine so bright
If I don't persue to be great
Causing me to rush the process
And have little faith
That the outcome will be
Like the picture I paint
-
All of them shine brighter than me
Making me feel misplace
Making me feel like a mistake
But than I remember the words you said:
"Give yourself a break
Your mental health is at stake
Those friends are probably fake
Because the real ones already think you're great
Be patient and have faith
And you will find your place in the universe
Through all your mistakes"
