Just a Dream

Every emotion trapped inside
Never able to have a glimpse of freedom
Happiness and passion
Overpowered by fear
Feeling like an over blown balloon
Ready to pop and be free
Every emotion and thought and word

Dreaming of a life where Fear is afraid of its self
Where everyone is different
Able to walk in a room and feel beautiful
Then look around and still feel the same way without a doubt
Where an innocent girl doesn't have to become a sl*t to be beautiful
Or to get the attention of a guy
A life where a guy can respect a girl
Not for her body, or her looks but for her soul and her heart

This dream is just that a dream
But maybe, hopefully my dream will become a reality

&quot;Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. And its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, I&#039;m already better than them.&quot;

I feel the exact same way. It's also sad to see girls change themselves just so guys will like them for their looks instead of their heart.

I've felt like this before. I like that you said where a guy and respect a girl not for her body or looks but for her soul and heart.
