Trapped
I never signed up to live in a world like this
A world full of hatred
A world where all people do is judge
A world where no one is accepted for who they really are
Why cant I be who I am and be accepted and loved?
I never signed up to ride a roller coaster driven by love
Love is a blessing but also a cursed
Love is a feeling we all need
Love is what we all fear
Why can’t love be as easy as everyone portrays it to be
I never signed up to have fake friends
Friends are suppose to be loyal
Friends are suppose take care of you when you are in need
Friends are suppose to stick by your side through your ups and downs and never leave your side
Why can't we all be friends and have acceptance for each other?
I never signed up to be born with millions of insecurities
I wake up with an unfortunate image of my body
I wake up with the sight of a face I will never approve of
I wake up with the scars that will never disappear
Why do insecurities have to be a part of my everyday life?
I never signed up to live in such a lifestyle
I'm always being told that I need to be more appreciative
I'm always being told that I am spoiled
I'm always being told that I need to stop being so greedy and ungrateful
Why can't people judge me according to my personality and not my treasures?
These daily struggles make me want to die inside
Its made me go through so much pain,
But it also made me the person I am today,
the person I want to be and the person that people will either love or hate
The best version of yourself is the one that loves itself
