Hit me in the sternum, I couldn’t breathe
Stars? None, only darkness underneath
Cartoons lie, they say stars will appear
But all I felt was panic, heavy with fear
I closed my eyes, waiting for light
But nothing came, just the endless night
I heard the silence, louder than the pain
Wondering if I’d ever feel right again
They say you see stars spinning when you fall
But I was hit in the sternum, and saw none at all
The pain was real, my breath was gone
And all I saw was the dark, where stars should've shone
Teacher stood there, but didn’t say a word
Saw me hit in the sternum, but nothing was heard
Fists struck hard, but no stars filled the sky
Just me, the silence, and a wondering why
I closed my eyes, waiting for light
But nothing came, just the endless night
I heard the silence, louder than the pain
Wondering if I’d ever feel right again
They say you see stars spinning when you fall
But I was hit in the sternum, and saw none at all
The pain was real, my breath was gone
And all I saw was the dark, where stars should've shone
Cartoons show stars when the world’s too fast
But hit in the sternum, those stars didn’t last
Only silence, pain, and a teacher’s gaze
In a moment that felt like endless days
They say you see stars spinning when you fall
But I was hit in the sternum, and saw none at all
The pain was real, my breath was gone
And all I saw was the dark, where stars should've shone
