Who I Am (0:37)
by Mallorie
 

I am daring,
I am bold,
I am smart but confused
My heart aches,
But these are decisions that I must make.
I cry secret tears,
I can't let anyone know my fears.
A teen escaping a childhood of pain,
Whose days were full of only rain.
Why should life be such a furied fuss,
And what good is life if our goals are not met.
Scared of opinions,
But you must understand,
No matter what you say,
One day you can blink your eyes,
And the love you once felt so strong,
Now dies
