Me On The Inside


I am an Independent Woman I wonder what its like to live in Africa I hear the sound of my heart breaking I see people trying to be something there really not I want peace through out the world I am an Independent Woman I pretend that everything is alright I feel sad when people have to act not like themselves just to fit in I touch my face to wipe the tears away I worry about my mom not being able to pay the bills I cry when I think about my sister being 16 hours away from me I am an Independent Woman I understand that the world is a difficult place to live in I say that no ones perfect so you don’t have to be I dream about having the perfect life I try an be the best me that I can I hope one day everything will be as it should be I am an Independent Woman
