My sides open and unfold Around each person that I meet
The lies that shape me, the truths I’m told My greatest strengths create my defeat
If you smile I’ll smile back Your sorrow will bring out my toughest tears
Though if intimated, I might just crack Your nerves will swallow all of my fears
I have a side one, side two, side three I’m a fortune teller my paper white
All sides shape my reality But each fortune changes in different light
Each flap folded down holds a different me Every side makes up one blank sheet
A girl that changes due to what you see You’ll write on it one day, if we ever meet
My sides open and unfold, Those changes are what set me free
The lies that shape me, the truths I’m told Each person I know shows what I’ll be
In elementary school I loved playing with fortune tellers, unfolding each side and seeing what the paper thought of me.
Now I feel that it’s not so much the paper telling me what to do, as it is the people. Every person in my life and close to my heart, seems to bring out a different side of me.
