“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babve, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe


The pressure to be perfect.
The pressure I can't bare.
The pressure I have.
The pressure not to be a reject.

So much expectations.
When do I live in peace?
When do I finally become me?
Less of an acception...

The pressure to be what YOU want me to be.
The people's expectations in the palm of my hands..
So much weight on my shoulders..
I can't be perfect I mean... look at me.

The daughter you once knew...
She's gone...
I'm gone...
You have no idea what I go through.

So much bruises.
So much scars.
But you don't know.
About me your practically clueless..

I don't need help.
I need the happiness I long for.
The silent screams.
The silent yelps...

The soon to be goodbye...
The soon to be me..
The soon to be someone...
Someone you'll never see..
