Confidence

It is sometimes hard to say
You are tired of feeling this way
Never feeling like you belong
That no one wants you
Never feeling safe in your own shoes
That everyone is better then you
How much can you take?
When you look in the mirror you are not happy
At what you see
When it has just built up over time 
And know it is all fallen down at once
People say just suck it up
But is that really possible?
When you have falling so hard
it is hard to get back on your feet
Do you feel like nothing will get better some days?
You know you have friends to lean on
That say don’t worry everything will be ok
But the truth is you don’t feel like everything will be ok
After trying so hard to feel confident
Is it time to give up?
Is it time to think
You're beautiful
You're smart
People love you
You are perfect the way you are

Obstacles of Growing up

Life changes when you grow up
Remember when you were little
No worries in the world
You could just sit there and play for hours
Do what ever you want
And the only reason why you go to school
Is to play on the monkey bars
Do you remember?
Its hard to grow up
Sometimes it would just be easier
To imagine yourself as a little kid
It doesn’t matter if you have a guy by your side
What other people think of you
What you look like
Pretty or ugly
No dumb rumors start up that rip friends apart
Or just to pointless drama that happens
Why can't we just wash all this away?
Go back to the serenity of being young
This might be just life
We all must grow up
But does all the drama, rumors, or guys
Have to come with it?
