Now

This time it's up to her
She's tired of waiting
She only wants what she deserves
There's no escaping
The fact that she's older and life's turning colder
She's finding it hard to stay warm
After the stars fall down
And there's nothing for wishing on
After the good-bye sound
And love leaves her alone
She picks herself up off the ground
She won't bow down
She's come too far to give up now
Her friends all think it's so sad
She must be lonely
She cannot help sometimes but laugh
She knows they're only
Trying to help her
But if they really knew her
They'd know she's comin' into her own
She's not sure just where she's going
She's not owing nobody
She just wants the simple life
Where they all leave her alone
And now she's comin' into her own
This song is exactly how I've been feeling. Do I want people to care about me? Of course, but only if it's genuine. Genuine caring is so rare it's ridulcous, so I just don't even bother looking anymore.
It'll show up when it's there. I just want people to take notice that I, Kara McArthur, have grown up a lot and if they don't like me for who I am they need to just let me go and not worry about me anymore.
I don't needed to be patted on the back whenever I cry anymore. I've learned to wipe my own tears and for the most part the people who try to comfort me are the reasons I cried in the first place.
I'm learning to laugh at myself more and that a good cry can be cleansing. A good laugh at others (the ones who try to "help" you) can be refreshing too.
