We're born , we die
We laugh , we cry
We watch , we grow
We stay , we go
We are never perfect , no matter how much we want to be
We can never always be happy , even if that's what we want everyone else to see
I can't change who I am my stars just shine too bright
I can see the light when I look to the sky at night
I speak a million words and hope my dreams come true
But the only thing I need right now is something to hold on to

Open your eyes , you're not made of these words that hurt you or the expectations that you feel you will never meet...you're made up of nothing more than you , you are a lovely and complex soul, an individually fascinating combination of thoughts , ideas , feelings and emotions .no one is beautiful as you.
