On-screen text

I stare at my reflection in the mirror why am I doing this to myself? losing my mind on a tiny error I nearly left the real me on the shelf no, no, no, no, no don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars seeing is deceiving dreaming is believing it's okay not to be okay sometimes it's hard to follow your heart tears don't mean you're losing everybody's bruising just be true to who you are
