I'm a Girl

Written by Me, About Myself

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

heartbreak
