I Became The Heroine

I thought of changing the way I loved people, but the people I loved changed,
I wanted peace but I went through wars.
I wanted explicitness but went through fog,
I wanted to be anonymous but I went through fame.

I wanted smiles but saw tears,
I wanted love but got guns.
I prayed for flowers but received thorns,
I wanted freedom but went through jails.

I died six times but became alive seven.
Still, I wanted to be unnoticed but I became the heroine.
