I walk a steady path filled with pain and sorrow
I am constantly searching for a brighter tomorrow
I have a fear of losing the ones that I love
Do they fear that they will lose me is all I'm thinking of?

I feel unappreciated I can never make them happy
I can't walk in a room because I'm afraid that someone will laugh at me
I was said to be a school girl with a perfect life
But what about me is so perfect if I don't know wrong from right?

I had an image of the world painted in my eyes
But I am to gullible because the world constantly tells me lies
A mind that is greatness has begun to arise
And they fail to realize I'm just blessed to be alive

I have a bruised heart deep within my soul
I cherish every moment afraid I want live to grow old
I have veins made of steel and blood made of ice
How can I live in the sun but go back and relive in the night?

If you could walk in my shoes and understand the problems I face
Maybe no one will judge me based off my appearance or my race
Treating me as though I'm a disgrace and I see no one will care
I walk in a room full of people but no one acknowledges me standing there

I lay awake at night and sometimes I shed tears
I tried to be brave but I can't ignore the fears I feel
I want to forget I want to be alone
But I have to face reality until God calls me home
