Where I'm from,
is a world of confusion.
Trying to find out who I am,
why I am here.
Music changing me,
People influencing me,
Magazines transforming me.
I am from a world of fitting in, trying to be as cool as that girl.
New clothes,
cool music,
makeup.
I am from a world of love yet so much hate.
Friends, parents telling me they love me.
Siblings telling me I don't belong here.
Who am I...a girl
Why am I here...to make a difference
Where am I from...still searching
