Analysis of Eighteen



Feeling doubtful about God
Maybe I know a little too much about science
Dad understands my words so much
Being rich is a bliss
Follow the lonely day
One day,times will improve
Being a brave girl
I was born with a silver spoon
I have had a lot of medicine
That's the reason I couldn't complete engineering!
