I love you mommy and daddy

Why cant you just leave me be
cant you see that i don't want to speak

leave me to this pain
leave me in my misery
if i tell you my story you will not grieve
you'll only point and stare
and make it worse for me'

i don't want my image to change
or the illusion to fade

lets lock up my hurt
and hide my pain
i'll do what i can
so that you can't see
that your little girl is pretending to be
this person that you see....
