From The Heart

This Life I Live

Can't do nothing right it seems or so they say but they're never around when I do what I do. Accuse me of everything, now that, I can't understand. Why they don't trust me, I'll never know. Is it because I'm a girl?

I'm sorry but I'm 19 years old, I have a life too. They think I'm a stay home all my life....they're wrong. Everyday, it seems my life is stressful but it don't get no better when night falls.

I want to cry so bad but instead I end up mad, these people seem to keep askin' why are you sad? I don't reply with the answer they're looking for, I just tell them, "I'm alright, I'll be fine".

I'm not a bad person, really I'm not. I'm more of a shy, quiet, loving, caring, passionate type person who just wants to live her life. Guess I'll never figure out why come I can't live this life I want to live.

They don't want me dating or anything but I hate it. Let me get my heartbroke, let me fall to my knees for forgiveness, let me continue to fight for the one I love, let me join in the Navy....if I die, oh well....who's gonna miss me? is what I feel like sayin'. If these people don't let me fall in love and go on with life, I'll never live the life I want too.
