I can't take being me,
It's not fair I'm so slow,
And no one else seems to see,
Despite my attempts to show,
[I'm falling apart]
I try to keep up, I do,
But they just point and stare,
I wish I could be just like you,
So perfect, having everyone care,
[I can't take this anymore]
I've changed my clothes, and my name,
I've dropped my books, and picked up games,
Changing my hair, for a new look,
Almost prepared, I've burned my last book,
[I'm more excited than ever]
Time for school, I'm on my way,
I'm so excited, today's a new day,
Everyone looks at me, like I'm new,
And they treat me, just like you,
[I'm finally happy]
You called me today, and cried,
Telling me how unfair they are,
Smiling, I simply lied,
And watched you die from afar,
[I'm lost, I don't know who I am]
I went back to my olds ways,
I bought brand new books,
It was just like the old days,
Getting picked on for my looks,
[This is who I really am]
Being someone else is wrong,
Knowing that, I try to become strong,
I stood up for myself, and now I'm happy,
I realize I'm not someone else, I'm just me.
[My life is just fine]
