I started out so sweet and innocent Now the world is turning my heart to black I've been influenced by all the corruption of society, I'm afraid it might never turn back I'm scared I'll lose faith in people Then my own promises I'll break I'll stop caring, I'll quit loving All because of the evil things people say Around me, Im surrounded by heartless actions and hatred It feels like someone has taken all of the air out of my lungs Someone has stolen all of the hope that I used to always keep inside I was so sure of who I was Now people have me doubting myself To be so frightened by others That I never believe in them anymore would be such an awful thought I started out so sweet and innocent I can't let my heart get cold I can't let people change who I am I know deep down I'm a good person Lately I find myself saying horrible things and thinking bad thoughts I wish all the hating would stop If only I knew how to make it go away I dont understand this world Or why were hurting ourselves Theres no respect left No time to care We've abandoned our families We've forgotten how to share We push people aside We push people down while we reach the top We struggle to survive and never stop to help those less fortunate than ourselves We start out small and reach the peak, only to forget where we came from and those who gave so much to make sure we got there I close my eyes, I can't stand to watch these injustices any longer...Birth sign: Cancer
