True Love and Betrayal


True love and betrayal

The two things that keep us real

With holy guns and raw sped lungs

True love keeps us from fear

If I loved the one that came and went but went away before time spent

True love and betrayal

Here's the thing, I'm a smart girl but I'm also really dumb. I work really hard but I also feel like giving up a lot. I don't like competing with other people but I always strive to be better than I was yesterday. I'm sociable but I have anxiety a lot. I'm afraid of silly things but I'm also quite fearless. I'm hilarious but I also make stupid jokes. I'm not a just any other girl. I'm a fire and a hurricane and I'm not afraid of a little warpaint when it's necessary.
