NEW GIRL
Yesterday was just another day,
Forgotten and moved on to a
New brighter day,
Waltzing into the summer bliss
Hoping this time, I won't miss
The second chances that life
Was kind enough to give me.
I have been given some thrilling threats
By my mum
She wants me to chase perfection,
Little does she know that I can
Barely fight my own reflection
In the mirror.
I am still clinging to my flaws,
I can't escape their ghastly jaws.
I like to dream out loud
And then go after them.
Drown into my wanderlust,
All on my own.
I am just like you
I cut and I bleed and I blush easily.
I'm an open book, easy to read, so paper thin.
Tomorrow will come
Words will be said and done,
I am willing to give up
If I get to be immortal
If not,
I just hope that when I take that jump,
I don't feel the fall.
I can't outgrow life, can I?
I just have to move on
Fight harder until I get
What I want from life.
Keep fighting until the very end.
