which you wish to be free from.
Fill your life with love and bravery,

it would be we're all okay,

I won't be made useless.

We all should choose our friends carefully.
I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

and I'm willing.
