Wishing On The Stars

critical

i realize no matter
how many times you
tell me you love me
i still won't understand why

no matter how long
i hang out with my friends
i won't understand why
do even like me

what good qualities do
i even have
i'm always doubting myself
never happy

i wonder
will i ever be free of my inner critic
or will he always judge me
when will i feel free

or is it all an
unattainable dream

why does my mind
twist things
to make me believe
that i'm
not good enough

can i fly free
or will i stay here,
chained to the ground
looking to soar,
but hiding under,
cannot be found

when will i put the pieces back together again
so my broken heart can be healed

when will i be able to feel
