Healthy love can be hard to find but when it is, it’s a special kind.
Loving fires bring no pain just warmth and light through pouring rain.
Not always will we walk in step but each stride should echo a promise kept
Flawless.
The girl on the cover of the magazine,
The one who was created with photoshop,
The one who sees the magazine and doesn't see herself.
Flawless.
The all-state basketball star,
My heart aches as I tell my tale
A tale as old as America itself
How my parents came for a better life
Condemning themselves a different kind
A kind of people misunderstood
being sorted into groups
smart kids, dumb kids, jocks
the quiet ones
feels like we can't escape the sorting
I watch from the balcony
She's sitting there surrounded by the sea
The ebb and flow swallow
Her vision of me
There's a crowd around her
Yet she's still lonely
Everything is so clear
We are undefined by words alone, the ones who stand, the rolling stones.
They will say stand out in a crowd and try something newBut heaven forbid that you actually do.
Often times I tend to find
That all the times we fight and fight
To be an individual
Or even feel that we have pull
To say in how we want to be
We’re fighting anonymity
