I'm-pure-ity
I’m not a little girl no more
In the mirror I’m growing, changing
Look through my past and see me as I am
For my life I’m re arranging
You could dwell on what you heard
But coming from the source, half of it’s absurd
I’ll never follow the herd
Is that a fault or a blessing?
See all of my life I’ve been second guessing
Overthinking, on the brink of something bigger
But it’s always been out of grasp, been told nothing could last
Well I have a dream, the light peaks in through the clouds in my mind
Everything’s in the world for each of us to find
We all got pasts and talents and passions
Never was up with the latest fashions
Could only immerse myself in the masquerade for so long
Before it was time to throw my mask off
Brave, naked face for the world to try to label
It isn’t my concern, half what they say are fables
To ease their own minds or for something to discuss
I’ve been here and there, seen the big fuss
Can’t claim to have seen it all, but a fair deal for sure
I’ve realized people are gonna have thoughts so impure
But there’s a lot of good in this world if you’re looking
Nobody’s gonna expect what I’m cookin’
Found my compassion and my drive
Gotta be a reason I’m still alive
Never will I look down on those who hurt me
Nor ever let anyone try to jerk me
Off the path I’ve came to want
Won’t let my past continue to haunt
