I'm full of nothing
Just like a scarecrow without any stuffing
I'm in a lot of pain and for this they claim
that I'm insane
I want to get out of here
But oh,my dear
What years it'll take
to accumulate that much money
Honey,just give up and never look up
Look at the ground,
that is where you're bound

The author's comments:
Well,I'm 18 now and I'm still struggling for my independence. Just cause I'm 18 doesn't mean I have everything all together neatly tied in a bow or something. I still have moments where I fall back,and I don't feel like I can get back up again,but guess what? I still can,no matter how severe it's gotten,I still can. But at the same time I still feel like nothing especially when I'm not doing anything , I just feel inadequate when I'm not doing something or that I've been prevented from doing something I love. It makes me feel like nothing.
