I Am What I Am

I am what I am.

Just a 15 year old girl trying to be pretty

Dark brown hair naturally but you’ll never see it like that.

Just a 15 year old girl trying to be outstanding

Trying to stand out so I don’t get stepped on like a doormat.

Just a 15 year old girl trying to be perfect

Lining my eyes with black, I need to look good.

Just a 15 year old girl who wants to be liked

Foundation won’t fix the problems, but makes me look as I should.

Maybe I’m insecure but at least I know that

I am what I am.

I am what I am.

Just a 15 year old girl trying to fit in

Don’t let them see you eat sweetie, that’s the thoughts I think.

Just a 15 year old girl whose head is all screwed up

Don’t cry in front of them, hold it in don’t blink.

Just a 15 year old girl who needs to be loved

Finding the love my father never gave in other men.

Just a 15 year old girl who shouldn’t be like this

Feeling used and broken again and again.

Just a 15 year old girl who feels like she doesn’t belong here

Depression is a disease that needs to be cured.

Just a 15 year old girl whose life is a mess.

This is the life I have endured.

Maybe I’m a mistake but at least I know that

I am what I am.
