Crossroads
{intro}
Twinkle, twinkle singing star,
Up above the world so high.
*strings instrumental*
{v.1}
That space between believing,
But closer to giving up.
It’s time, I made a choice now,
This time, could be my last one.
{pre-hook}
I didn’t mean, to wander this way,
Suddenly, why back to this place?
Standing here,
Between both hands of the clock.
{hook}
Caught at a crossroads,
At the edge of this life
And a twilight ocean.
{pre-ch}
What good is tomorrow’s day,
If it’s a memory of the night?
{ch.}
Why now should I believe, when no one told me, to begin?
Why now should I, if no one told me how?
Standing here, lost at a crossroads,
Waiting another day~
Blinded,
Breathlessly,
Searching the unknown.
{post-ch}
Twinkle, twinkle singing star,
Up above the world so high.
Signal, signal shining star,
Lonely diamond in the sky~
{v.2}
So many times, I’ve given reasons why,
But none of them were really mine.
{v.3}
People say,
Oh, they’ll always say,
So many different answers.
{hook}
Caught at a crossroads,
At the edge of the clouds,
And the ground down below.
{pre-ch}
Empty fates, are my wondrous place,
Where I, can finally cry~
{ch.}
Why now should I believe, when no one told me to begin?
Why now should I, if no one told me how?
Standing here, lost at a crossroads,
Waiting another day~
Calling,
Breathlessly,
Here from the unknown.
*piano instrumental*
{bridge}
Everywhere I run to,
Always brings be me back,
Back to the start~!
*strings instrumental*
{coda}
*vocal only*
Standing at the crossroad, between both hands, of the clock!
An echo calling both the ends of life~!
Magic roars its waves at the edge of fate,
But I am not afraid!
Floating,
Endlessly,
In beauty unknown.
{outro}
Twinkle, twinkle singing star,
Up above the world so high.
Beauty, beauty shining star.
Lonely diamond in the sky~

Author's Note
This song is about ambivalence, the struggle between wanting to live and wanting to die—but ultimately, wanting to end the pain. The lyrics show someone who is accepting this ambivalence, which may be somewhat liberating and transformative, because near the end of one’s life is where they feel most ‘free’. Or, a bad thing because it means their actions are uncertain and can lead to dire circumstances.

During many of our hard times, it's so easy to wish for a hug, and it isn't even much to ask for. We don't want anyone to judge us more, we don't want anyone to devalue our feelings, we just want a hug...whether it be virtual, or physical. We want someone that understands us, because, that is when we can learn from them.
Sometimes, we need a friend to help us find the words with us, so that we don't feel so anxious and misunderstood anymore.
Loneliness and mental health in general is a hard thing to depict through words, so I commend you, if you are doing so on DU poetry, on any other platform, or even with a loved one.
Recently, I've been typing a small book called 12:02am, a Wattpad novel which helps to shed light on mental health and bring more humanity to it through the perspective of a person suffering with it and writing in a journal about their experiences.
(Kinda like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid format.)
To be honest, no matter who you are, or what you're suffering with, we all need someone to connect to.
This book discusses mental health issues such as: depression, social anxiety, perfectionism, and loneliness, but it isn't preaching an unfounded solution, more or less, though it may be a way to feel connected to someone.
A journal of wits and sincerity, connecting mental health, and the humanity in our hearts.
