Dead or Alive?
All my life I've been dead
 I've walked earth like a zombie
 I've spoken, but don't remember anything I've said
 Youi talked to me and i appeared to be listening
 I've gone to school, work, wnd parties
 But not as myself
 I've been this person behind a mask
 A person who did as she was told 
 The smartest people ask questions, but I could never think of any
 Until now.
 How do I clomb but not get high?
 WHen can I fly without using wings?
 Is there a God to follow, someone above power to answer these things?
 I've gone and learned a little
 About life and happiness
 About respect and love
 Now i'm alive enough to know that
 I can take off the mask and be Myself
 I can finally be alive.
