Star in My Mind
I reached for the stars
 with all of my might.
 I never gave up,
 and always put up a fight.
 I reached for you
 'til I fell down too.
 I couldn't believe the sound
 of youre hate,
 rejection,
 ejection of my heart.
 You threw it on the ground,
 and it hurt less than your words.
 I didn't know
 you held in all that fire.
 The dragon has just been released.
 You blew fire in my face.
 You left me with no trace
 of self-direction.
 No sense of
 protection.
 My heart's been injured
 one too many times.
 I feel so confused.
 Every time I try,
 I lose.
 I couldn't do anything
 when I tried.
 Now that I don't,
 I'm a STAR
 in my mind.
