16. Elegant

looking so pretty so pure

people make you their own

and you a fool let it happen, like a troll

it isn't right, be your own

shame, fear, empty and alone

you feel when you let people control

the way you live and the way you talk

because you gave them the strings to your doll

come on take a step, get out of the dark

before you love someone, love who you are

live a little for the kid, you never saw as a star

because you were busy being compelled by the tars

I can still see you there, contemplating what I said

just do it! what's stopping you from being yourself

hate it or love it, I'll always be there for you to be cherished not lead

be the owner of your life and give a little credit to yourself

take back the strings and be the elegant

not look at the pretty and pure to remove your dents

let me not leave a message

let me give you a push better yet

so you for once help yourself
