I am young
I am free
I am strong
I am me.
I am a survivor
I am waiting
I am a not a backeast dirver
I am debating.
I am a girl who followed simple rules
More than what you see when I walk by
Not just a pretty face with brown eyes
Well put together
yes indeed
Yet struggling to provide for a family of 6 who is ineed
i have to be this
i have to be that
expectations are tearing me apart
i question the standards
i challenge the norms
why can't i say what's deep in my heart
Water is transparent.A liquid with no definitive shape.Versatile.Always shifting.Ability to freeze and then melt.Water is something people desire.Water is something people fear.
During an era when we were bound and silenced,
We chose to speak up,
No matter the consequences.
Now in a time when we are "free",
We stay quiet.
We let others fight our battles,
There was something
About her smile
About her laugh
About her eyes
That was empty.
There was something
About her past
About her dreams
About her future
That scared her.
I want to be a rock, but I flow like a summer breeze.
I want to be loyal, but sometimes I need something new.
I want to tell the truth, but I know the truth hurts.
