You take one look at me,
You judge me completely wrong,
How come you can’t see me for me?
See me for who I am,
I’m my own person,
I’M JUST ME…

Every day of my life, I spend the days in my room crying asking god for guidance, Strength and courage, no one sees me, they see what they want to see,

Alone and abandoned, Trapped and exiled,

I’ve been alone every since I was just a child, never had a father there, never had a mother who cared, was left alone I gotta be strong, invisible to the world, nobody notices me,

Yes, I’ve been beat, yes, I’ve been molested, and that was all by my family,
I’ve been hurt and heartbroken, but I hide how I feel and leave my burdens unspoken,
That’s just me,
Yes, I’M JUST ME…

You take one look at me,
You judge me completely wrong,
How come you can’t see me for me?
See me for who I am,
I’m my own person,
I’M JUST ME…

No love or security,

My family has no purities, my brother is all I have & he’s the light to my path,
No guidance, peace for a girl, I was left alone to die in the streets, what I would give to just feel free,

Pain & anger

My hope for surviving in life is endangered, secret cave, a way to escape, my life is hard but I still gotta have faith, because I’m still me,

You take one look at me,
You judge me completely wrong,
How come you can’t see me for me?
See me for who I am,
I’m my own person,
I’M JUST ME….
