I Am Not

I am not a girl who looks past stars
Knowing they will always be there
I am a dreamer, and a romantic
Even while alone, I stop and stare

I am not a girl who takes love lightly
It is much too powerful and sacred to be
Even after love given and painfully lost
The existance of love makes life worth living to me

I am not a girl whose family is torn
Although some may not see eye to eye
My parents, my siblings are all of my world
Blood is thicker than water is no word of lie

I am not a girl who settles into place
My dreams and my hopes take me worlds away
I will be everything I was born to be
And for this I thank God everytime I pray
