~ Just a Girl ~

My fair skin burns in the sun
A white christmas and snow angels in winter
This i dream about
Just another face in the crowd
With a voice to be heard
My thoughts are my own
And my strength speaks volumes
I can errupt like a volcano
Or be your calming breeze of heaven
I’m moody and encouragable
I try not to judge
For that isn’t my place
But life is a blessing
Not a given
One of my lessons
This time round
Was learning how to live it

I cry
I smile
I bleed
I laugh
I’m just a girl
Trying to make it in this world
Cementing my footprints behind me
So if i feel lost
I can find my way home

How many chances will be wasted
On the toss of a coin
Just to test our fate?
Trust your intuition
Listen to your heart
The voices within
Need to be heard too
I don’t like pedestals
But we all need
Someone to look up to
To love and to be loved
Denying either
Only brings pain
If you had to choose
What would you do?

I cry
I smile
I bleed
I laugh
I’m just a girl
Trying to make it in this world
Cementing my footprints behind me
So if i feel lost
I can find my way home

I think to much
Sometimes i don’t think enough
But i really wonder
At the end of my time
What will be my legacy
I leave behind?
Will the friends i have now
Still be around?
Will i succeed at marriage?
And spend more than a few moments or years
With just one man
Or am i destined to walk alone

I envy the rainbows
That light up the sky
After the rain has past
So perfect in their mix of colours
Just being there
Making the children
Smile in surprise
If i have to come back again
I wanna be a rainbow
In my next life

I cry
I smile
I bleed
I laugh

I’m just a girl
Trying to make it in this world
Cementing my footprints behind me
So if i feel lost
I can find my way home
