Don't Stop Believing


                                  To be a believer, you have to follow your dreams

                                                 You have to chase your dreams

                                                 and live for your dreams.

                                                 Looking at myself in the mirror

                                  I see nothing remotely close to the idea of perfection

                                                 Still, by looking harder

                                                  I see someone who isn't afraid

                                                  Afraid of the talk

                                                  the looks

                                                  or the darkness

                                 I see someone who can stand on their own

                                                  I see a girl with dreams

                                                         I see a believer
