Paper Girl

by horsegirl100

I'm just a paper girl

Fake & flat

No more than a mask

 

I 'm just a paper girl

Trying to make her way in this cruel world

In a world of stereotypes & judgments & expectations

 

I'm just a paper girl

But I don't want to be anymore

I'm tired of belonging to everyone else

I just want to be me

But I don't know who that is,

Anymore
