Im so tired of being controlled
Told what to do

Im so tired of not being myself
Because I feel like I cant

Im so tired of being alone
Not having people to go to

Im so tired of feeling so small
Felling as small as an ant

Seize the Day
Thats what it means

Seize the Day
Such a wonderful philosophy

Carpe Diem
Such a strong phrase

Carpe Diem
I do my best to give it praise

So seize the day
What ever chance you get

Carpe Diem**
Seize the day and then you're set

I am me
Thats all I know

And You are You
Nothing has been more true

We are one
Yet not one of the same

We are all different
All of us unique

Just be You
Since thats all you need to be

Since You cant be Me
And I cant be You

Find who You are
And be true to You

A normal teenage girl
Thats all you will see
Until you take a deeper look into what is me

When you take the time
You will see I am not all what you may have believed
I am deeper than you ever anticipated me to be

So young and naive
Yet I am anything but
I have had my fair share of heartbreak and bad luck

My bad days started long long ago
In a time when I had nowhere to go

I did what I could
Yet I was hopeless and scared
Thought I was damaged beyond any repair

Then 3 years ago
I met my best friend
That little did I know was there till the very end

She protected me
And helped me to heal
Heal everything inside and everything out

I felt better then
Knowing she was there
Knowing I had someone who cared

She saved my life in more ways than one
I owe everything to her
Everything for sure

As you can see
I am far more than you thought me to be

All we care to ever see
Is what is put before our eyes

What we fail to observe
Is what is behind the mask
The mask we all wear to throw people a curve

See if they truly care
Or if they just don't mind
Taking us for just what they see

Taking us for face value
