In the game that we call life

It’s very easy to get lost

Like a role-playing video game

It’s always tough to beat the boss

Sometimes you have your cheats

Or you let someone play as your crutch

You start to get lazy

Or it’s becoming a little too much

It doesn’t have to be that why

I wish people could only see

I know this for a fact

That I tend to not let it just be me

I’m one of those people who

Like to have someone guide me by hand

I rely too much on others

That, on my own, I cannot stand

I see what’s happening to me

I know what I can become

But there’s something inside me

That makes me want to run

I feel the resentment bubbling

Like a volcano ready to blow

I know that one day

It’s going to make me let go

I know I need to find a release

To keep myself from falling apart

Cause one day I’m going to lose my three lives

And have to go right back to the start

It’s there, I can feel it

But where to start, I don’t know

I want to be a better person

So, to everyone, I can show

I’ll find a way to help myself

Cause I want to help every one of you

I want you to know that you can do it

If only you could realize it too.

Who’s that girl staring back at me in the mirror?

She acts like me, she looks like me

Does she come off that way to you?

My eyes roam back and forth

From my reflection to the girls in the magazines

And yet I can’t help but compare

They’re just not me

I am not skinny like them

Nor can I make my hair perfect like them

I have pimples left and right

I don’t have the need to flaunt off my assets

Nor hang myself off any guy I see

That’s just not me

I don’t eat daintily

I don’t try to starve myself for others

Because that’s just not me

I am not a girlie-girl

Or a sophisticated beauty

That’s just not me

And if you try to make me what I’m not

I have no problem telling you off

Because the girl you see before you

That’s just me.

I’m the type of girl who always looks on the bright side

My emotions are more stable than the oceans and their tides

I can’t remember a time when I never wore a smile

I’ve always stayed true to myself and not once in denial

But I’ve always had this thing about

People and their negativity

You’re always whining about the smallest things

Rudeness is what your sarcasm brings

You don’t know the meaning of someone’s personal space

A rude tick seems to be permanent of your face

I try to ease my way out of this tricky façade

This is too much for me to want to stay

I’m the type of girl who loves positivity and happiness

My friends and family have always given me bliss

I would to anything to give them support

This is a love that is the best of sorts

But if you can’t love your family for what they do

How can you love yourself?

You’re always bragging about the things you’ve done

Thinking that jealousy will make you wholesome

You’re oblivious to everyone’s feelings

Immune to other’s insecurities with which they’re dealing

This is why I want nothing to do with you

So open your eyes and listen to the truth

That, thank to you, I’m over this

And I’m over you

I don’t try to be who I am not

That’s just not the person I am

It’s not the way I’ve been taught

Cause I grew up in the love and care of my family

I wasn’t born to be skinny

That’s simply plain to see

I wasn’t born into a lot of money

But these things don’t bother me

I don’t need a man to make me happy

Or do I need your compliments to boost me up

I don’t need clothes, jewelry, or your money

I can’t get them myself; I’ve got that self-love

I know when enough is enough

I move on through life

Even when the going gets tough

I live each moment like tonight is my last night

All these things make me who I am

You don’t have to understand

I am my own person

Everybody who knows me can see

So you either hate me or love me endlessly

Just please do not try to change me
