Teenage Paramnesia

by Emma Carnage   Feb 1, 2007


I'm not perfect
I'm not the great daughter you think I am
I'm not the best friend you act like I am
I'm not this amazging girl you see
I'm not better than her
I'm not "fixed"
I'm not a good person

I can't do this
I can't do everything you think I can
I can't care as much as you think
I can't be a role model
I can't succeed where she failed
I can't get better
I can't be great

I won't do great things
I won't make you proud
I won't be there for you forever
I won't live up to your standards
I won't be the success story
I won't ever be done
I won't be able to help

I'm just another person
I'm just an average daughter
I'm just a filler for somebody better
I'm just like everybody else
I'm just like her
I'm just an "ex"-depressed teen
I'm just as evil as everybody else

I am just like you and them and us
I am just another passing body in the crowd
You won't remember me when you think back
I am invisible
