They say I'm not a girl

They say I'm not a girl but my heart loves the same,
It aches and cries when your so far away,
And bounces with joy ever time I see your face

They say I'm not a girl but I wear my makeup everyday
To hide from hateful glares that would judge me anyways
And to build my confidence from all looks and stares.

They say I'm not a girl but my tears burn just the same,
They roll down my face as I tell myself it will be okay
And my teddy bear is there for me to make them go away.

They say im not a girl but my cuts bleed just the same,
As they start to numb out the pain i'll scream
'i just was never good enough for them was i'?

They say I'm not a girl but I know I am anyways,
It's not the things I do that make me that
But the belief I hold inside.
