__________by Mysteree

And so I am

I am her

The girl next door

The girl you love to hate

To Hate to love

And some more

The bitch with attitude and yet so much love to give

Only been here for a minute

Only got one life to live

Yea, that's cool cuz I'm growing tired of this world

Cuz I'm sweet and moody

And I talk too often and I listen only half that much

I feel all the pressures of this troublesome world

Bearing down on my pretty little shoulders

Where colorful butterflies dance

And the sun glistens

I am brown

And white

And red

All these colors that my ancestors gave me

Not just one

So diligently seeking me

The girl that reads till dusk and writes till dawn

and sleeps till noon

Who dreams and dreams and dreams

And cries and cries and cries

And hopes and hopes and hopes

But, still I am non-chalant and cold

And warm and giddy

And funny and shy

And smart and obliviously naive

And out of control and boisterous

Everyday still searching

And everyday I am her
