Alright
March 2, 2014
Tired of pretending I'm alright.
Tired of pretending my birds still fly.
Tired of smiling and saying I'm fine
to strangers who seem to be the only ones to tell I'm ready to cry.
Tired of being rejected, used, and tossed to the side.
I know I'm important.
I will be fine.
I'll try my best and aim sky high.
I'll soar through the clouds;
teach others to do the same.
I'll make mistakes and start to drop down low,
but someone will catch me,
I just know.
I,ll show the world just what I can be.
I'll show them I am now free.
