I am not what I appear to be
I follow by the shadows of others
but I never follow my own
I soon became lost
as a thin piece of metal
became my loving friend
I cry at night
and smile in light
the door shuts
as I begin to fall apart
piece by piece I began to break
as that little piece of metal put me back together
even though you may be able to tell by my face
you’ll never really understand
how broken I am
I put myself in the hands
of people who seemed to care
just to find out
it was all just a lie
I hid in my own skin
I was different
I sent what was inside
I've been called a freak
as I sit here today
I'm a girl
with trust issues
with insecurities
with depression
with scars on her arms
I'm far from wonder woman
I'm far from the hulk
I'll never be strong
I’ll never be a fighter
I'm a girl
who's given up
who's loved and who’s lost
I'm a girl
who's finally accepting that
I'm not what society wants
