I’m made out of love and hate
I open my eyes to the future
Seeing myself doing well in life
But today I feel like I’m going nowhere
I feel forgotten
When the shows fall, I feel lonely
Like burning metal that never goes out
But it’s hurtful
You might find me cheerful and loving
But on the inside I feel like my heartbeat
Is the only thing keeping me from freedom
My dream is to become a successful business woman
My biggest fear is to not succeed in life
My very best friends make me feel safe inside
They like me for me and I love them for that
The sound of my laughter is unknown
Because I am very serious
I feel like I can do anything when I am sleeping
In my dreams I am dancing, singing and being me
And nothing negative gets in the way of that
