I am Me
Faded jeans and off-shoulder shirts
Ear-pones plug and singing along
im just another girl
who blends in with the crowd
People see me differently
Far from the girl i know my self to be
i seem to wear a thousand masks
and if i take them off they may not recognize me
They judge me by the cover
And pretend to read my pages
they over look who i really am
And try to rewrite my fate
caged in wrong impressions
binded by their assumptions
changed in their descriptions
im not the girl they presume to be
Shaddered mirrors and faded memories
They were gone and was never me
All of the were just images
How people wanted me to be
I won't let them mess with this girl
I'm tired of the masquerading
I'm going to let the world know who i am
I wont let them control me
Taking off the innocent smiles
and obeying eyes
I won't let them think i'm another puppet
They can play with the control
i will not be broken, im stronger than they think
I'm braver than it seems, i've got dreams
I'll follow my heart and not their minds
i'm not gonna let them take over me
I'm not another
I'm different from the rest of them
i will show you
I can do better than you think i can
Caged in wrong perceptions
Blinded by their expectations
i'll prove to them that they are wrong
i have and identity that i own
Ripping of the photographs they think i am
Burning the desighns of how they want me to be
I'm not a barbie doll
they can redress anytime they want
Taking off the mask they wanted me to wear
Wash away the colors they tried to color me with
Breaking the chains of their images of me
Im done with masquerading
im breaking free from everything
I'll show them my reflection
show them who i really am
No more shaddered mirrors or faded memories
the girl they assumed i was is gone
standing here is the girl i really am
accept that because i will never changed for anyone :)
