What is it?


What is it?

What is this feeeling that i can't shake off?

This feeling of despair and selfish restraint hurtful words I hear time and time again

What is it?

A girl who was raised by a single father no one thought she would make it

so now the world can't take it. 

What is it?

Is it that my hair flows down my back and I have a father who says i'm all that.

What is it? 

My carefree soul and when i sing i lose control and I have the people screaming more.

What is it?

My heart on my sleeve and just like you I bleed but you choose to ignore my needs

here I am screaming at you to listen like a call in the distance,

My voice echos on your soul yet you keep telling me to let it go.

What do i let go?

Do I let go of the negative you spinned in my life do I let go of the destiny that I

have been denied , Do i let go of your poor outlook on life? 

What is it?

What is it that you want me to do? Don't you wish that I could lose well i'm

here to say that I won't chose the path that you have set for me.

I choose my own.
