The name's Eleven
My persona's like half and half
I bring extraordinary vibes
I'm a weird person too
Sometimes full of positivity
But I too have my dark moments
Confidence is something I want
But I'm too insecure
At an age where I question everything
And where curses and vulgar language
Is used too frequently in today's creativity
But it looks like it's the only way
To describe how much we can't say
My smile hides my sadness
But when I cry, I speak the truth
I want to live a life where I feel free
I want to live a life where I'm truly happy
I use the term "swag" to describe myself
I'm trying to survive but it's hard
I live with adults who claim that
Today's youth know nothing
It's because my style is unique
I'm sixteen but I stress out like I'm forty
Though it is hard
I will continue to work on myself
My mom and dad aren't always there
But I love them very much
I take after blood as you can see
"Be proud", they say
As it is passed down to me
"Not everyone will like you"
That's the way I grow
I love my planet
A psychological escape from reality to others
They don't understand that it's my own world
A place where I go when I feel
Out of place in this cruel world
It is my own story
Hello there, I'm captain Eleven
All abroad my spaceship fellow passengers
Sit tight and enjoy the ride
Shout out to my little world
It looks scary but I promise you it is not
How about you hold me hand?
And we'll give it a go
