They say I'm old enough to be independent
With maturity and adulthood I ain't fluent
Since I was young I feared to get old
Terrified for the responsibilities and challenges yet to unfoldI show them that I can handle my shits
Fill their eyes and minds with plot twists
I stood tall like Im an unbreakable tower
But deep within I'm just a kid losing count of numberPeople think I'm cold and my heart's a rock
My eyes we're inexpressive - emotions were lock
But I know me more than they know me
I ain't naive, when I'm alone I'm crazyI always turn my back and walk away
The moment my tears would betray
I don't want people to feel pity
But I cry at night and ask God to save me
