You thought that I would do that!
Accept a life that's not a life
Live a life without a flower crown
I was born to have one
I was born to explode, to become

I have superpowers!
(Sometimes I do think)
I don't know where they come from
My life is a patchwork by fate and myself done
And I must admit - right
I need to control them sometimes
It is so intertwined in me
sometimes I just can't see
But you won't tame me ever
I am just getting better

I have been ****** up.
Still, I am. I might not get -totally- out
But it won't get so far.
I have been the lowest. Asleep for too long.
But taking back my steps - making the time count

You thought that I would bow down?
That I'd be an ugly event in my own life?
No one is shooting **** into my veins
No one is putting me in restraints
Took so long, to find my place!
No Xeplion to make me a good girl
or lower my self
No one is making me less
I am growing stronger every day!

And none of you are right
and neither am I
the answer is always more complex
than a diagram can process

You might say I am winning
but I never understood that
I am a proud loser, never fit in
Not even now, now is the least
Adjust my eyes
correct my visions
acknowledge the stars
do not erase them - just allow me to
be able to walk
and enjoy
that myriad of stars
