they used to look at me and think,
that girl will go places.
now they look at me and smirk,
with their brave faces.
because what I realized
is that when you grow up
you're defied.
never enough.
it may be your looks
on your way to Hollywood
but then again, it may be the books
how you would see that test and it'd be good.
but now,
oh, the present
it asks you, "how?
how did you ruin all of those lessons?"
and wherever you go
and whatever you do
just make sure you know
hope won't always stay true.
