I should let it go like Elsa said
And move on to what is next
But I always somehow think,
As I hate having any enemies,
There’s something left to mend
I further sink like the Titanic did

Tortured, I never feel at peace
Unless Mariah’s singing to me
Learned the best things aren’t free
As there’s always a price to pay
Like when they are taken away
And I’ve had many of them days

Been hurt too many times
To the point it’s been crimes
Always easy to use like a fool
It’s being too nice but it’s not wise
Always being put down for who I am
Still gonna wear my crown to show them

I’ve been cracked open like an egg
Learning the most of any other day
But it’s not always bad, I have had
Some things that make me glad
Guess we all go through things like I do
Just certain times it’s hard to get through

Feeling sick all the time, called a liar
I went from a butterfly to “frequent flyer”
Every day is a struggle to feel just okay
In health it never, ever goes my way
I’ve given up twice but that is alright
Here for a reason, gonna keep believing

I’ve loved so much, just not myself
I’m still a rainbow, with an awful storm
This is my truth, I don’t care what you do
Over-loved so much, just not myself
I’m still a rainbow, with a big, big storm
This is my truth, hope someone it moves
Someone said I needed to fully represent myself like a couple of Mariah Carey’s lyrics do for me. So...
