Uncommon

My life is like a painting
So calm, but so same
I wonder if I’m common
But that sounds so lame

I see the girl flying in the movie
She saves the day
The pretty girl of sixteen
Out of the blue- she’s the super girl – the real one
So suddenly, she is one in a million.

What if I don’t have another side?
What if I won’t have another chance?
It’s odd to be flawed in the crowd of the flawless
But pointless that I care

Let those expectations just fly o'er my head
I’m gonna live my life care free
I’d rather be blind and not see the dangers
Than just sit around like the weak and the feeble.
Let’s not wait for some super girl to come save the day
Let’s make mistakes and learn it the hard way
Step out of the circle;
let’s start taking the untaken paths.
