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 :)
