The life I have
The life I want
The way they laugh
The way they taunt
The empty wish
The unreached dreams
The hemorrhaged hems
The seamless seems
And though I wish
And though I pray
I do not think
I’ll see the day
Where I can shine
And just be me
Exactly who
I want to be

"the hemorrhaged hems" & "seamless seems" lines are very original. & I love the photo. (:
