Favorite Quote:
The problem with perfectionists is that they expect everyone around them to be perfect.

Fearlessness-doing stupid things under the guise of bravery.

The biggest mistake is trying to predict the future by looking back at the past.


Far too young for that you say

Shouldn't do things that way

Never get the "Okay" to make it better

You make decisions for myself

Don't really know anyone else

My life will always be angry ever after



Because I don't wanna go to parties

Don't know what a broken heart is

And still and still you steal my entire being

Being that my legs are lame

And my mind's ashamed

Of being what it is for so long

Too scared to be outspoken

Prepared to be kicked down again

And again and again



Paper ripping everywhere

Watercolors dripping from my hair

Telling everyone that they can be complacent

Lost count of things that weren't there

And it's far difficult to wear

As a coat or a yolk, over me



Breaking code in the breaking cold

Frozen solid in the dead of the summer breeze

And the other nations are

Losing patience for me, waiting for me



Don't wanna risk my heart being broken

And I don't wanna be the token

Oh, how I wish that I had spoken

Now my head is all guilt-laden

And my sanity is fadin'



I can't climb so high

But I will learn to fly

Yesterday, or today, or someday

No more boot stains on my forehead

And I will get the "Go ahead!"

For this time and all time



For this time and all time

You will see that the sensible one is me
