Just Me
I'm not pretty, that much I know
I sing like a bird, but it's a crow
I'm awkward and extremely nerdy
The voices in my head show me no mercy
I wish for prettier hair
I wish my skin was clear and fair
I bang my head against the wall
And I see the first tear fall
Fighting myself is my greatest task
I use happiness as my mask
I punch the mirror I don't feel the pain
While on my clothes my own blood stains
I cry so much now, my face streaked with tears
My own mind as my biggest fear
I can't take a compliment because I truly believe they are lying
While inside I just keep dying
I'm nothing special, an ugly little girl
Who can't stand to see her own life unfurl
I don't have the right shoes or skirt
And I have no clue how to flirt
I'm not special, I'm not free
I'm just little, stupid old me
The girl who can't cry in front of others
Who can only be loved by her own mother
The girl nobody cares about
The girl who doesn't laugh or shout
I'm not interesting, smart or pretty
Sorry to disappoint, but I'm just me
I wish somebody would stop and see
The girl underneath, the one longing to be free
But for now i'm just sad, ugly, stupid old me
