Valentine's Mercy by rini_panini

this cannot be all there is for me.

i deserve better than this sort of life.

there's more for me out there. i can feel it.

something has to change.

i'm not meant for a life like this.

do you ever feel like there's more for you out there?

this was never my dream.

there's still time to change.

this was your path. this wasn't mine.

i'm not living my life for you.

i have to keep looking for myself out there.

i deserve more than what i've been given.

someone else made these decisions for me.

this is my life, not yours.

i need to make mistakes in order to find where i belong.

i could get used to a place like this.

this is so different than what i'm used to.

you've opened my eyes to a world i thought i'd never see.

what could be greater than this?

i'm not going to just sit here and watch my life pass me by.

i was born to be great.

i need adventure like i need air.

my mistakes don't define me.

you can't judge me for doing that.

i did what i had to in order to survive.

this was never in the cards for me.

they picked this path for me the day i was born.

i had no say in the kind of person i became.

my potential has always been limited.

these are things i never thought i could do.

what else have they been hiding from me?

there's more out there than they're saying.

i'm not just going to sit idly by and watch.

you have to take charge of your own destiny.

isn't that what you were always saying to me?

you believed in me when no one else did.

i've made a lot of mistakes in my life.

i still have a lot of learning to do.

i need time to grow and change as a person.

let me at least try to be good.

they told me i couldn't, and i believed them.

i need to stop listening to what they have to stay.

it's better to follow your heart.

what does your heart tell you?

this is wrong, and you know it.

we were not meant for this.

i can't just sit here and watch the world fall apart around me.

somebody's gotta do something. might as well be me.

you won't be able to stop me.

i'm going to live my life, even if it kills me.

it's all going to change, because i'm going to change.

no more sitting around waiting for my life to happen.
