the real me.

{they tell you to be yourself,

and then they judge you}

I’m the girl who spends her lunch sitting alone and reading.

I’m the girl who doesn’t eat.

I’m the girl still cares what people think of her. No matter what.

I’m the girl who just wanted a friend.

I’m the girl who’s words never came out right.

I’m the girl who wrote the letters that explained everything and never sent them.

I’m the girl who relies on her internet friends.

I’m the girl who doesn’t want to die, but doesn’t want to live.

I’m the girl who can’t hold in tears.

I’m the girl who doesn’t know how to be herself.

I’m the girl who just needs to know she’s not a horrible person.

I’m the girl who’s never had a broken heart, because she was too shy to give it to anyone.

I’m the girl who’s never had a first kiss.

I’m the girl who just wants to be happy, but forgot how.
