You don’t know me. Just cause you gave birth to me doesn’t mean you know me.
I’ve changed. A lot. You may not like it, but then again you don’t like many things.
I’m not that same little pig-tailed innocent girl you once knew.
You think I put in the headphones to drone out your voice? Well you wrong.
I do it to escape the cruel set of mentality you put on me. I have my own opinions and thoughts.
Why?
Because You Don’t Know Me!
