Making wishes on every star I see

Trying to listen to what they say

Realizing I am strong, but it's a lot

There are way too many voices

Voices telling me to just give up

Over thinking, but I know I shouldn't

I'll be okay

I just need a break from my head

I just need to learn to speak for myself

Learning to speak up to others

I love harder than ever

I love, and the harder I fall

I become even more afraid

Afraid of my own mind

Afraid of what he thinks

Just afraid he'll get tired of me

Get tired of me being quiet

Nobody could love me for this long

Nobody has stayed this long

And that's what scares me always

Crawling away from the ones I love

Screaming because I'm tired of myself

I love them and can't express how much

I love them and I'm terrified

They love me, I know

But I'm still scared because of my mind

I'm still scared because I over think

Maybe someday, I'll understand my mind
