You call me a brat
And a pain in the neck
A wanna-be emo girl
A fat so
A piggy
Anything else you can think of
But I’m not any of that
I’m my own person
And I always will be
I won’t be your ideal girl
But I’m who I want to be
And if that isn’t good enough oh well
I am who I am
It’s your problem if you don’t like me not mine
I know what I wanna do now
And I know who I am
And it’s not all that you say I am
I’m a girl who’s shy, semi-smart; a writer;
I’m nothing special; and I don’t care
I don’t wanna be in the spotlight
I like it behind the curtains
I won’t make you proud
Because I won’t be who you want to be
But I’m gonna make myself proud
And that is all I care about
I’m a bookworm; a friend; a sister; a daughter
I’m not the best at that
But I don’t care
I’m me for me and nobody else
It’s my life not yours
So if I mess it up then it’s my fault
It’s my life if I screw it up
Not yours so get out of it
I’m a girl who doesn’t care anymore; it’s my own life
