I'm not as smart as you think. Honestly, you're the only one that thinks this high of me. I believe that one day you'll forget about your childish dreams. But I have been through some adult things when I'm just turning seventeen. My mom told me I growing up too fast. I'm too tired to just chill out and relax. I'd rather be facing problems and dealing with the facts But how do I suppose to go forward if I keep looking back. So you want to stay forever young While I want to grow up and become forever strong I want to know how it feels to stand up on my own Instead of being treated like queen on the thrown So I'm going out to find a place I can call home My name will always be written in stone I'm not talking for my health It's about time I find myself I never asked for anyone's help It's not games anymore its life or death I guess I have a testimony Of what this has become of me Life isn't always better when you're mourning When you wake up smile in the morning Not everyone wakes to the sun shining Needless to say, this is the end of my journey I'm returning back home back  to my  celestial glory.
