I am what my parents always wanted me to be.
I am a good girl with good grades and good friends.
I hold doors open for people.
I say please and thank you.
I do what is asked of me.
Have you ever examined a butterfly wing?
Listened to a chorus of 10-year olds sing?
Looked into a puppy's big bright brown eyes?
Jumped out of an airplane and into the skies?
Remember that time I was at home, sick, miserable and hopeless as ever?Hearing your voice made me feel better again. Remember that time I failed a math test and couldnt stop crying?
Depression sinks in, Lonliness creeps up. What in this world keeps us from the pain?
Shamed because the concept of waiting to get what I want made me seem desperate and clingy;
Hurt because the love I gave to him was never given back in return;
All that glitters is not gold,
So how dare you be so bold,
To say that the best things in life are free?
Well, no one is free from impunity.
You only have the freedom of speech,
Colorless is how people should appear to a police officer’s view
Offender’s skin shouldn't make a difference in the end its true
Colorless is how people should appear to a police officer’s view
Offender’s skin shouldn't make a difference in the end its true
No matter what I do,
No matter what I say,
You will always see,
What you want me to be.
You can call me "she" instead of "he"
And you can call me by my birth name.
I am wild. I am spectacular. I am wildly passionate. I am jealous. I am human. I do dumb things. I make a fool of myself. I have a wondering and imaginative mind, I only see the good in people and I'm infatuated with the idea of love.
It started when I was young. Teased by my family.
Move you fat cow, you're blocking the TV.
