One thing that scares me is dying because people will miss you and won't get to see you as much.

But first I got to study all on my books
Getting good grades is at the start of the hook
In elementary I had my teachers shook
The way I found comfort in all of my books

I will be a Hero to all the girls who aren’t happy in their body/
to the ones who would do anything/
just to feel Love/
I want to show them there’s no greater love than self-love/
brown-skinned girls, tall girls, fat girls, skinny girls, I want every girl to know/
that you are beautiful in your own way.
