I feel like sharing this. I wrote it a while ago based off my burn out :p
Burn Up, Burn Out, Little Star
Lately,
I've been
Thinking and thinking
But reaching no end
Squirrelling away
In that place my thoughts tend
I think that I’m sleepy
I think that I’m beat
A sec to rest
Would be pretty neat
I just want to close my eyes
Indulge in things that don't feel wise
What do I care?
Why should I care?
If things go wrong
There's a creature in my chest
Pacing, pacing, I can't rest
Pacing, pacing, back and forth
I'm scared you'll see it and my worth
The creature's in my brain
Doing its song and dance all over again
I'm here with it
The exit’s there, but I can't fit
The guiding light has not been lit
A single task becomes seven, eight, twenty
My plate has already got plenty
Burn up, burn out, little star
No one should wonder where you are
You're just a blip
Some shoulder’s chip
Your dreams have told you so
Your heart has told you so
By now you should know
You're just a blip
Some shoulder’s chip
That heavy heart
Is just the start
Oh, heavy mind, oh, weighty soul
Go back to hiding in your hole
Deep in your head, you can be just be
Cross the line to fantasy
Your problems don't dwell there
This hell won't follow there
Your mind and spirit turn to air
Now your body's lost its pair
It's all done and dusted, then?
You’ll come back to reality exactly when?
You can't just not exist forever
You know this farce is far from clever
You’ll dopamine yourself to death
Reality will steal your breath
With the punch you're soon to get
Are you feeling sick yet?
The creature’s in my insides
Pacing my lungs, my stomach, mind
It churns my gut to see them try
I can't reach back, oh, ceaseless ‘why's
I waste my time in just a blink
It churns my gut to watch me think
Reality is just a blip
Reality’s my shoulder’s chip
Burn up, burn out, little star
Your supernova travels far
That heavy heart
Is just the start
Your mind and body; worlds apart
