I Am The Girl

I Am The Girl

I don’t want people to like me for pretending
To be something I’m really not
For who are we but who we pretend to be
So forever, I am me, this is all I’ve got

I am the girl who laughs at her own jokes
And reads books in childish wonder
I’m the girl who admires flowers
For their beauty and natural splendor

I am the girl who smiles as she sings
And also as she writes
I am a girl who loves with all her heart
And thinks with all her might

I am gentle and understanding
And I love running in the grass
I’m the girl who holds her breath
When hope really shouldn’t last

I am the girl who closes her eyes
To live inside her radio
To let her mind dance
To sway to and fro

I am the girl who cries because it hurts
But hides it from most of the world
Because though its cuts run deep
I still have life in me, I’m just a girl

I am the girl who dreams
And stands firm on her principle
I am the girl who doesn’t want to be called sexy
Who wants to be thought of as beautiful

I am the girl who tries to add some truth
Into this lifeless- half dead life
I am the girl who likes to help others
Through painful pangs and strife

I am the girl who looks in others’ eyes
In attempt to feel as they do
I’m the girl who is annoyed with her peers
Because of the crap they put themselves through

I am the girl who longs
For voices of her other home
I am the girl who keeps living
Though I feel alone

I am the girl I am
And I am proud of being strange
I am the girl I am
And that will never change
