I'm free
I'm complicated
I'm happy to be
I'm chained, I'm bound
I'm lost at sea

I'm afraid of the dark
I'm broken inside
I'm bursting full of hope
I'm lost, I'm scared
I'm unable to cope

I'm quirky
I'm preppy
I'm a jock
I'm the nerd, the freak
I'm easy to mock

I'm brave
I'm nervous
I'm unable to soar
I'm crazy, I'm loving
I'm never really sure

I'm proud of myself
I'm full of promise
I'm left behind
I'm smart, I'm stupid
I am undefined
