It's My Life



*This ain't a song for the broken-hearted*

She gathered her things. Making sure she had everything. Everything she owned. She carried it all with her, wherever she went. It wasn't much but it was hers.

*No silent prayer for the faith-departed*

She glanced in the mirror. She hadn't changed. Not a bit from the day she left. Would she ever? Did she care? She pulled the black headband over her head, lacing her fingers through the fiery hair.

*I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd*

It didn't matter if she changed. People knew her. People respected her. Some even feared her. Those who had never heard of her soon would. Maybe it was her purpose in life. Maybe it was fate. What ever it was, she didn't care.

*You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud*

She fastened the clasps of her black cape. No one could tell her what to do, where to go, how to act. It was her attitude that usually got her into trouble, and also got her out. Hell, she was human. Imperfect. Both sides of the spectrum.

*It's my life and it's now or never, but I ain't gonna live forever*

Her life was short. She knew that. It angered her to think of how many times it had almost ended. Her brief, bearly started life. Some could still consider her a child. She was a child. But she was strong.

*I just want to live while I'm alive, It's my life*

She blinked, and realized she was still staring hard at her reflection. Why was she crying? She wiped the tears from her eyes. No one would see her cry. She smiled. She was alive. She was free to do what she pleased. She was happy.

*My heart is like an open highway, like Frankie said I did it my way*

She left the room. She was leaving again. Another town, another country, another continent maybe. Somewhere where no one knew her. She would show them who she was. She would show the world. It was her life. It was her life. She was going to live it, her way.

*I just wanna live while I'm alive*

"Come" on Gourry! We're going to see the world! And no one's gonna stop us!"

*It's my life*
