A Dedicated Junior Year
Sophomore year was not the best.
I tried too hard to please and impress.
I worried about what others thought,
and I accepted that I would never be, "hot."
I never slept, I hardly ate,
Sophomore year just wasn't great.
I was always, always, always stressed,
and I wore my heart outside of my chest.
I let others tell me who I was,
I learned, the hard way, about lust.
I was smart, but so naive,
and I thought I loved somebody mean.
Like a unlocked door, I wasnt secure,
A lot of my feelings had left me unsure.
I tried to hide, like a book on a shelf,
I'd forgotten how to love myself.
I let stress be an ocean that tried to drown me,
which left me feeling preety lowsy.
I let tears cloud my eyes,
from what was real and what was lies.
On graduation, I said goodbye,
to someone I didnt need in my life.
It was tough, but now I know,
Being me is the best way to go.
I'm dedicating my Junior year,
to the girl who always stood in fear.
What others thought, what others said,
it doesn't matter, I matter instead.
My smile is my shield and my laughter is my sword.
I guess you could say I'm a warrior of sorts.
I will not let Sophomore year come back,
There's a reason why it's in my past.
All the drama, all the tears,
I'm letting it all disappear.
I'm letting my smile sing my song,
Even when I get stuff wrong.
I'm smashing that judgemental mirror,
so judge me for what I have in here.
