True Me

Sun, 02/21/2021 - 17:17 -- Becky16

I realized that all that matters
I'd me and mine
I'm loosing my focus a little bit
A young girl with big dreams
It's a miracle that I came this far
Rewinding my memories like tape
I took step on my mother land
Got no time for back and forth life
I'll make a racket a punch
I gotta pack it
Life is hard
I'm sure it will get harder
You can laugh
You looked down on me
Everyone talked smack about me
even my enemies and friends
But not anymore,
Change the channel
Yeah you know
I'm fuckin ready
Lifestyle heavy
Get ready for a long trip
Some call it fate
I call it life
I didn't choose it
Life chose me
I did it for the love
I did it, I did it
I said I did it for the love
I did it
I'ma own it
This is my moment
The struggles of a 16 year old shit
I came here without even knowing the language
No one understands me, nobody
I needed a chance,
The end of my wandering
I prayed that I will never ever fall again
Drowning under pressure
What comes after my insanity
Friends that stabbed my back
Brought me back into reality
I erased my bad experiences
This is my last declaration to myself
There ain't no stopping me
Nothing changed
I'm still the same
The world is smiling at me
I've waited, I've waited
For the sun to rise
My tears gathered to be an ocean
No matter how dangerous,
I'll keep walking
Once again, even if time passes,
I'll keep on walking
I'll keep on living
I did it, I did it
I did it for myself
