There was a time when I was happy
Running through a field in the evening when the sun burned pink
Crying for my stuffed toy

Ive spent hours studying for a class I dont care about
The dark circles under my eyes are windows into the darkness inside me
And I stay up at night feeling terrible
Wishing I could have happiness back

A boy broke my heart two years ago
And my first kiss with him tasted weird
And Ive found someone new

Ive changed into the thing I was scared of
The girl who gives herself away
And avoids looking into mirrors
Not wanting to see her ugly face

She donated all her stuff toys years ago except her favorite one
A stuffed elephant

She doesnt know her future yet
Turn this way, I'm certain
Not sure if this way is the right way
Close the final curtain
The show is long since over and I cant stay

I don't know where to go or where I'm headed
Walking into a void in blindness

They say I could be a writer
Or a lawyer, an artist
Or a nurse, a scientist
But I desire for something greater

These poems mean nothing until the stars cry my name
Begging for one more poetic sentence about their light
Dancing throughout the black space-less sky
And I still wonder why
Why do I continue to cry

Will he still stay with me even though I've been broken
The promises the stars keep may be unfulfilled when the future is open
I'm not sure where to go in life anymore

— The End —
