Not Me At All

She was never given a chance
couldn't show what she could do
They simply always took over
It was something they always do

They never gave her a chance to excel
To show them how great she was
They seized all her opportunity
Someone who doesn't support does

Couldn't let her have some spotlight
Feel like she did something for her
Tries to be herself but they
Call her selfish, arrogant girl

What flowers can she smell if she can't find the time?
And every time she thinks about it she starts to cry
Trying to prove she's smart, she isn't dumb as they think
can't stand to tell people who walk away as fast as she blinks

The talking ended in a long silence
And the presence of quiet shed tears
How can they not realize her unhappiness?
How long she wishes to confront her fears?

So something deep inside begins to stir
As she fights for something thats never heard
At the silent beats that flow from her head
She wishes that she was someone else instead
