I have been trying too hard to be the person everyone likes Showing the world a first class smile Standing tall, looking like a queen Pretending that I am not afraid of what is behind the door Believing that I just have to wait one more year until I can burn off the mask Telling myself that then I can be me in a year, the girl with stories in her head, the one who never wears shorts, the one who loves to act, the one who has too much to say and a heart too big to show, My forgotten heart won't listen to my brainwashed mind

Heart or Head?
I have been trying too hard to be the person everyone likes Showing the world a first class smile Standing tall, looking like a queen Pretending that I am not afraid of what is behind the door Believing that I just have to wait one more year until I can burn off the mask Telling myself that then I can be me in a year, the girl with stories in her head, the one who never wears shorts, the one who loves to act, the one who has too much to say and a heart too big to show, My forgotten heart won't listen to my brainwashed mind
