Tell me

Tell me
By: Andrea Pereira

I’m sitting on my room again wondering what happened,
How could this ever end we seemed so happy,
And I always thought that this would never end,
And I know there are many things unsaid,
But now you’re gone and all that’s left
Me wishing you would turn back instead,

And I wish you could tell me, Tell me that you want me,
So tell me, baby, tell me there is no one else,
Cause I’m too you young, to understand,
That I’m too you young to get my heart broken,
And I’m too young,
So tell me, tell me that you’re gonna stay,

I keep wondering if I did something wrong, Uh oh
But I can’t remember, oh no no,
One day you’re here, one day you’re gone, how could I respect you?
But I miss your holding and I miss your touch,
And if I could turn back,

And I wish you could tell me, Tell me that you want me,
So tell me, baby, tell me there is no one else,
Cause I’m too you young, to understand,
That I’m too you young to get my heart broken,
And I’m too young,
So tell me, tell me that you’re gonna stay,

And I wish you could tell me, Tell me that you want me,
So tell me, baby, tell me there is no one else,
Cause I’m too you young, to understand,
That I’m too you young to get my heart broken,
And I’m too young,
So tell me, tell me that you’re gonna stay,

Solitude

Sometimes I just like to
Turn the lights off,
Shut my door, from the outside world
and Lie down facing up,

When I’m like this,
My heart feels in peace,
My mind doesn’t wander into space,
and I feel like I’m laying on a cloud, on a sunny day.

I can hear the breeze outside,
Knocking on my window.
I know the outside world is only one wall away,
But for now, I let my worries wait at my doorstep,

In the darkness,
For once I feel safe.
Inside these four walls,
I feel invincible,
I feel invisible,
I’m untouchable,

In the dark,
I Reveal my secrets.
And as the earth stands still,
I play my guitar, and let the sound take me away,

Oh, the world,
So captivatingly beautiful,
yet for some, it’s our biggest fear,
this is why sometimes I like to step out of it for a moment,
To keep my sanity,
for the years ahead.

Unselfishly, Selfish

Being a girl is hard,
But our struggle is most evident in our teenage years,
We struggle to keep up with society, and what it wants,
And most of us lose ourselves trying to become someone we are not,
We are too eager to fit in,
That we forget to love ourselves first,

and this is why,

I am writing this to you,

To the girl who lost herself trying to be someone she wasn’t,
the girl who's too ashamed of the way she looks,
the girl who cries in front of her mirror because she doesn’t
feel enough,
the girl who forgot how to smile,
the girl who cries her eyes out every night,
the girl who is so terrified to try,
the girl who feels different from others,
the girl who wants to save every other soul first, and leaves hers for last,
the girl whose heart, blood and soul run wild,
the girl who wishes to be perfect,
the girl that doesn't know what she wants,

You are so much more than the imperfections in your skin,
don’t waste your life being stressed, believe me, it’ll all work out,
you need to be strong,
cry your heart out,
but stop,
your tears are too worthy,
make them rare, for the real times you’ll need them,
try to love yourself first, then someone else,
your future is not defined by your past,
Darling nobody is perfect,
Don’t believe what they tell you when they judge you,
You know who you are, don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.

This is for you, girls.
You, no matter what, are good enough.
You are lovable.
You are strong.
You are independent.
You are different.
You are rare.
You are beautiful.
You are capable of achieving anything you put your mind to,
Because you are you, and that is your power, learn how to use it.

And now I write this to you,
old self,

To the girl who was so ashamed of the way she looked,
the girl who cried in front of her mirror because she didn't
like what she saw,
the girl who forgot how to smile all because she was too worried about what other's might think,
the girl who cried her eyes out every night,
the girl who was so terrified to try,
the girl who felt like an outsider,
the girl who saved every soul she met and left hers for last,
the girl who couldn't accept herself, and wished to be perfect,
the girl who's still figuring it out,

I am happy you were able to look past all those insecurities,
they only held you back from bringing out the best in you,
I'm happy you’ve been able to find yourself through all this darkness,
and now I hope,
you put yourself first,
it isn’t selfish,
it is root,
to be true to yourself.
