Flying Away || Poetry

Reach for the Stars

What am I doing here?
What is my purpose?
Why can't I find the silver lining
I tell everybody else is here?
I can't seem to find the stars
When there's always rain
Keeping them from me
And the sun is gone,
I've got nothing to gain
I want things to change
And I want them to stay the same
I can't decide the way
I want things to be
I yearn for love
I hate that fact
I push people away
For why,
I can't quite be exact
I want to hold them close
But every time I do,
I get hurt, it's like I overdosed
I've traveled far
I've seen the world
I haven't gone two steps out of my mind
It's like a leak in my heart has been left ajar
With everything that's happened
I'd rather be blind
Everything I hold inside can't stay
And I've tried so hard
But it can't all be held at bay
While I love everyone else
But I've already played my highest card
And the game's over
I might as well count my losses
Let the cuts become scars
To always remind me
I worked too hard
To reach for those stars
