my problems are so small
look at the sky
look at the stars
unweary in their existence
things change
but their light is persistent
we all think
that we are going somewhere
but we're all on the same planet
you know the moon doesn't care
about the problems that i could list
if he hurt my feelings
i still exist
the truth is
the stars aren't concerned that she called me a b****
look at the night sky and tell me
what problems that can't be fixed
so why do we worry so
about having so many friends
about having so many hoes
the sun will still rise and set
no matter how many likes we get
we are all still under the same sky
in the same town
seeing the same thing
hearing the same sounds
we too make up the planet earth
but we've lost all sense of self worth
still turning in our solar system
we live our lives through our phones
we wish were someone else
we are not enough
and we are alone
we think everyone else is perfect
there are flaws in our heads
we wait for a certain message
only to get left on "read"
but our problems are so small
the stars are still shining
but we give up
we stop trying
we do not fit this mold
girls are turning 21 at 15 years old
we don't look like instagram models
we don't fit into a plan
the reason that we feel
is because we are too real
for the world in our hands
we think we aren't going anywhere
that the pain won't go away
just because we're not getting attention
or because we're not getting laid
but when night sets in
the stars will shine
unfazed by our small worries
still providing light
so I too will be like the sky
resilient and unfazed
continuing to shine
through the trials of each day
i will not ignore what's inside
i will choose
to not lose
my shine
i will look at our sky
and look at the stars
look at how lucky we are
to be alive
to be here
to be alive
to be real
