Me Myself and I
I am twenty one years young searching for my purpose
and every step of the way I must feel that I deserve this
I have been political analytical and critical
when it comes to my views of the world
and I consistently fight becoming
another stereotypical girl
just another pretty thing with fingers
twirled through her hair
manipulation is not a trigger
I'll pull-I'd rather play fair
and I know this may come across
as a little cruel
but almost every person I meet
is a corporate tool
being used to mass produce
the same old line of bullshit
that promotes a higher quality of life
but doesn't know how to deliver it
so many of my brothers and sisters missing out
on the true abundance of living
receiving something far greater
through the act of giving
and I want to make an impact
be a leader by example
but apathy is my enemy
and the distractions are ample
the line has been divided
and I am reminded how to stand tall
they will try to sedate you obliterate your view
but that is when you give it all
too many times before I've wondered
if I was asking too much of myself
but compared to the majority
I've got a different picture of wealth
so whenever I ask the question
should I keep walking towards the light?
its my vision of a better tomorrow
that delivers me from fright
and as my soul plays a beautiful melody
my heart can sing along too
I know that I am achieving
everything I can do
to embrace this mysterious life
as a continual celebration
both the ups and downs
met with pure elation
because by the end of the day
the only thing I hold true
is when a kindred spirit looks me in the eye
and says "I understand you"
many people think I am petty or crazy
many people are not worth my time
but when you finally connect with someone you respect
the feeling is sublime
so I keep my head raised towards the sun
and a smile on my lips
as I continue to discover
that this is my true purpose
and every step of the way I must feel that I deserve this
