I know what you have planned
What you want to do
Fires of fate have been fanned
Will it even out all debts dues
Always wearing a smiling mask
To hide your tear soaked face
Is life such an impossible task?
Feeling trapped in a negative space?
I have felt that way before
I wear all the scars
I couldn't take it anymore
I wanted to be free amongst the stars
I thought while alive no one saw me
So if gone I would never be missed
I was blinded by depression, I didn't see
Eyes are now clear, gone is the mist
I went through it and survived
So can you, just trust
Through my troubles, my purpose revived
So stand tall when in your face the hate is thrust
I beg you, don't do it
You are unique and perfect as you are
Remember, into society you don't need to fit
There are others like you, reach out and grab a shooting star.
