Laugh your heart out. Dance in the rain. Cherish the moment. Ignore the pain. Live, love, laugh. Forgive & Forget. Life's too short to live with regrets.


You tell me to blend in
To be one with the crowd
But I know the truth is
You're scared of us knocking your world down

We listen to music with a message
The kind that really scares you
I like the colors black and red
You say I have to choose
My opinions form my outer shell
Which you can’t get through

You say I can’t dress like a rock star
And be girly both
I tell you you’re ridiculous
These words from your mouth

We listen to music with a message
The kind that really scares you
I like the colors black and red
You say I have to choose
My opinions form my outer shell
Which you can’t get through

So my styles not like yours
It’s got a unique flair
From my boots to my jacket
To jagged hair

This is me
You’ll never change that
I am me not you
Please understand that


We listen to music with a message
The kind that really scares you
I like the colors black and red
You say I have to choose
My opinions form my outer shell
Which you can’t get through


The author's comments:
I love rock music and I hate when people stereotype it as being creepy or satanic. I also hate when people stereotype the people who listen to that type of music. Just because we listen to a certain type of music doesn't define me completely, it may influence some of my style and opinions, but that's it. I also hate when they say you can't be girly and rock at the same time. Sometimes I like wearing sundresses and flip flops and sometime I like wearing shredded jeans and combat boots. I love it and you will never change me. the only person who will define me is me!!!
