That Big Tree From Our Hometown That I Visit Sometimes
Don’t mind me
I’m just laying on my bed
plotting ways to save the world
I saw my lucky stars wrapped around Jupiter
It hurts to know that what I needed most
couldn’t provide in that moment
Will someone please touch my heart?
Like pen to paper,
fuel to fire,
go ahead and grab my heart strings
How could I spread my wings and fly
without believing in myself?
Here’s to all my lucky stars
that stuck around to this point
I wrapped my arms around Jupiter
to feel safer within myself
Where’s that sense of community
when I’m clearly needing it the most?
Apparently my will got over this before I did
Will you show up just like you said you would?
Apparently, my inhibition got over this before I did
I’m sending my best to everyone that never judged me
just because
Don’t mind me
I’m lying in my bed
picturing my name in the clouds
Like pen to paper
writing the only poem
that had the power to change the world
In the life I’ve built inside my head,
I can do just about anything
and I’d hate to be a hero
in a world I couldn’t save
With the life outside my eyes
there’s too much risk to stay the same
and I don’t want to be a hero
to a world I couldn’t save
