Fear
It's boiling inside me like a big balloon that can't take anymore
air or it will explode
I'm trying to do my best to keep it in but it seem like nothing is working
I pray and i pray and don't get me wrong i'm not gone stop praying
because if i give up what
is that telling myself that i did it for nothing and i plan not to look at
myself like that.
I look in the mirror to examine myself and tell me what do i see
I see black beautiful girl trying to to do something with her life
I see a girl that is different from everybody i know in some way
i believe that this girl i see is
going to be something and somebody one day.
I would love for people not to look at me for the color of my skin
but for the character that i
bring to you
If you judge me before you get to know me then when you get to
know me how would that
make you feel cause i'm not a bad person no no my mother raise me
better than that with
the help from the lord
But when i really examine myself i see a little girl thats stuck on the
directions she should go
and hardly can't find her way but thats ok i'ma make it and i hope
that ya'll would pray for
me 1 day yeah it's me the gurl in the mirror but the problem is that
its my anger that keeps
me in fear
