Mixed CD Poem

18 & Counting

In my 18 years of life I've been through a lot

But these life experiences have only made me stronger

Everybody gets weak and in the end

And I guess I left my world in somebody's hands

Someone to rely on is what I really need

Throughout my years I've lost friends and gained them

Tell me why? No one can

In the end I was strong, like a woman

I just wanted to be happy

Then I suddenly remembered that nobody's perfect

And yet I catch myself day dreaming

When I realize I got it, happiness

Nothing you can compare to any material items

And all this time I thought my happiness lied within that

I proved myself wrong last night

I felt all numb, but with excitement

I am who I am, Sara

That's my name, that's my name

I believe in my own opinions, make my own decisions

I am my own person, not shaken my others

So if you want something, go get it

Don't stop or be stopped

You make it happen

And as the wind blows a breeze I know

That if I stand my ground

I made it to the place I want to be
