I am tired of being alone.

I am tired of boys like Dan,
Who make me doubt myself.
That's right. I'm putting a name to the identity.
You're no longer going to be able to hide and run.
And you can apologize a thousand times,
But you can never take back how bad you made me feel towards myself.

I am tired of boys like Jim,
Boys I can't shake. Boys I can't forget.
That's right. I'm admitting it.
I can't seem to make the lie I've been telling myself real.
I can't get over you.
But maybe that's because ther isn't anyone there to help me climb.

I am tired of boys like Mike,
Who wait and wait until Rapunzel's already left her tower.
That's right. I know how you feel.
I guessed after the games we've played.
And it's alright,
But I don't know how I feel. So I can't tell you.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to all of you,
Because I can't be as strong as you think  am.
Because smoetimes I get so mad at the world,
I scream and cry and pull out my hair.
Because I hate my body,
But can neverdo anything about it.
Because I can't have you,
Because I don't deserve you.
I apologize for lying to all of you about who I am.
I'm not confidant in myself. I need someone to make me that way.

There are a million shining stars in the sky tonight.
Thought right now I can't see a one.
Sometimes I think see one.
Then find out it's a plane trying to take me somewhere new.
But one day will come when I'll see a star,
And we will burn together in a supernova like no other.
Maybe I've glimpsed that star without realizing.
And maybe I'll discover one that no one's ever seen.
I haven't been able to write for a long while, I'm not sure, it just hasn't been there. This bit of writing makes my heart hurt.

Thanks, Esther for the title. I hope you're happy even if we never met. Rest in peace and say hi to God for me.

I'm sorry Mike of you read this before it all goes down. But this, this is my place. And I don't censor out of fear.

It takes guts to admit things like this.
Thinks like your insecurities and such.

I admire that, and you.
But putting this out in the open, you have proven yourself way more confident and put together than you think you are.
