You Don't Know Me
You may give me
 Those looks
 Of hate
 But you don’t
 Know me
 
 You may tell me
 Those jibes
 Behind my back
 Or speak it
 To my face
 But you don’t
 Know what
 I’ve been through
 
 You may give me
 Looks on how I dress
 Or the way I act
 But you don’t know
 Why I act this way
 
 You don’t know
 My reasons
 Behind myself
 The way I dress
 The way I act
 
 In fact you don’t know
 Me
 Nothing of me
 So you can quite those
 Looks
 Words
 Actions
 
 They won’t stop me
 From being me
 I am myself
 In which I don’t follow 
 Something in the like
 Of you
 
 I am myself
 You tell me to 
 Be myself
 And yet here you come
 From behind me
 And tell me to 
 Change
 
 I won’t
 I like myself
 I don’t like you
 
 You can leave me alone
 You can quite 
 These rumors
 
 I will force them 
 Back on you
 
 I don’t chase 
 My prey
 They come back to me
 
 I am myself
 A little weird
 But that is me
 
 You don’t know me
 You never will
 So don’t play the 
 Pretty girl
 Pretty boy
 When you 
 Want to
 Change me
 
 Because
 I won’t
 Change
 
 I refuse
 To change
 To suit
 Your beings.
 
 You don’t
 Know me
 You never
 Will.
 
 Or ever care to
