I'd like to say

I like to say I'm brave
And I like to say I don't care
I like to say that it's not my emotions
And that it's life that's not fair

I like to pretend that I'm a tigress,
When really,
I'm still a little girl in her room, braiding her hair

Wondering why life's short
Playing tortuous and hare
Wanting to move so fast
Wanting to not be there

I still want to run by so silently
That when people stop and stare
All they'll see
Is the wind wiping past and a wisp of my hair

Because I like to say that I'm not afraid of anything
And I wish I could take care of my problems
and hold them in embrace

Hear no intimidation
See no intimidation
But that's just not the case

Take all evil
Look it in the eye
Hug it
And then wrap it in lace

I want to be able to handle everything the world brings
I wish I were the one
Who when everyone cries,
stands up and sings

But I'm not,
I never got the memo on how to be perfect
I guess I forgot
It's not worth it
Better a imperfect human than a cold hearted robot

I like this. There is a nostalgic feel about it.
