Caught in the headlights
Tits out in the limelight
Ready to wow and forget myself
I'm a rockstar
I'm everything I'm supposed to be
Which is everything
So watch me spin dysfunctionally
I'll take you in
My time as soon as I can
I can't tell you how soon that will be
Please forgive me
I see so plainly
How dearly your beautiful face means to me
Soon I hope
To find where the hell it is
That I lost my mind
And I hope sincerely
It's not too late
To reattach the threads that hold it on right cause I really don't want to lose that thing again.

"The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing."
A piece of paper taped to a wall of an elementary school said this, it really resonated with me.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

I simply loved this. Simply a rock star, and that you are for putting this into words. Nicely Done!!!
Loved this. Felt relatable and freeing
Tits out in the limelight, that was fun! You're definitely a rock star for putting this into words.
Such a cool piece, gritty, honest, and full of emotion.
Hahahahahahaha I lose mine all the damn time because I never seem to reattach it properly! Loved your poem!
