The Guiding Star That Failed Me

Do you remember me, am I even here?
It's because of you I don't shed tears
I've been taught to stay strong, show no emotion
I swallow bitterness like it's a magic portion

When you look at me, do you see the child that's once thrived
Because I'm sorry to say I don't think that child's alive
And I wish I could bring her back
Because right now I feel left on a rack

And I'm drying out, I'm dying
And I wish that I was flying
But I'm buried in the ground
And I don't think I can be found

So my darling protector my guiding star
Look at how I've fallen and look at how far...
