The stars don't shine as bright tonight,
Their distant glow can't feel the fight,

The struggle to keep it together,
And not feel under the weather,

The struggle to keep a smile on my face,
When it feels like I'm in a race,

A race with my thoughts and emotions,
And with unexpected explosions,

No finish line, no place to rest,
Just a heart pounding in my chest,

No time to take a break,
When everything is at stake,

My shoulders, they start to shake,
Due to all the heartache,

My mind, it has become a mess,
From trying to deal with all the stress,

From trying to pretend that everything is fine,
And trying to hold it in and not whine,

From trying to smile all the time,
While my emotions are doing overtime,

Maybe I don't have to fight alone,
Maybe I don't have to bear this on my own,

Your presence makes everything feel okay,
And it keeps my emotions at bay,

Your words always warm my heart,
Because they are a piece of art,

Your love gives me hope,
That I'm not walking a tightrope.
