I am no ballerina or prancer.
I know I'm never right,
So here's my answer.
I'm sorry I'm loud,
But guess what?
I'm proud!
You should be too.
I guess it's an issue,
I just don't do.

I am no saint or princess.
I paint my smile,
I have many regrets and sorrow
But I try my best like there's no 'morrow.
I really do try,
Yet I don't satisfy.
Oh how I wish I was bright,
Like a firefly.
