about

CW: suicide
I wrote this poem when I was about sixteen, but it does not reflect my state of mind or my level of fame at the time.

lyrics

Bright lights?
That's not what my life is like.
Those lights blind me,
and blind others to the real me.
They say I'm a star,
but it's not me that's shining;
it's the glossy magazine covers,
the coins in my purse,
and the mask of glittery make-up that hides my face.

I am in darkness.
The only lights in my life were the friends that I had,
but they can't see through the mask anymore.
I'm alone,
and I'm about to shoot the star
