naive innocence
unsure and unafraid
pretty but not
afraid to dream
dreaming anyway
smart but dumb
wanting independence
going nowhere
lost in a shell
looking back
always second best
unreal smiles
seeking something
not sure what
college bound
wondering always
what others think
so insecure
desiring talent
not knowing its there
inferior self-image
wanting to be
what I'm not
