I AM ME! THIS IS THE WAY I AM! GOD MADE ME THIS WAY AND IM PROUD TO SAY IM STAYIN HERE! IM NOT WEAK I AM STONG ENOUGH TO STAY!


Taken,
Washed away,
Faded,
Who do you see?
Definitely not the real me.
Close your eyes
and listen.
Don't look
because what you see
isn't me.
My fake smile
with glittering eyes.
Always there for show.
You'll only know
who i really am
if you stop and
listen.
Listen to my voice.
my stories.
My words.
Not my actions,
they lie.
I'm a fake and
no one knows
how i cry
at night,
all alone.
Just begging
for someone to say
'whats wrong'.
Someone to understand
that i just want someone to love me for me.
Don't close your eyes
and ignore me
Like the rest of the world
Close your eyes and
Save me
Help me
Love me
