I wish I could write it all away
heal the child in me that’s
still so desperate for her family.

The family that let her down
taking her under with them,
just watching as she drowned.
She never touched the drugs
so she never felt the love,
it’s sad but it’s true.

But, she pulled herself up from
the bootstraps
finding she had her own stars to map.
She lassoed them all one by one,
but always flying too close to the sun.
Inevitably getting burnt.

Wounds so deep
that the bad memories just seeped
into modern day.
Leaving her scared to fly
and leaving her locked away.

But I know all I need to set her free
is already inside of me.
It’s been in me since day one
It’s been in me all along.
My sun my moon my shooting star✨
The little girl who always saves us
no matter where we are.
