Thoughts & Arguments

snippets of my brain

I smiled the first day I went to school.
My mom told me smiles are nice.
My teeth were crooked or so they said.
My mother was wrong.

"I look pretty" that's what I thought.
Everyone laughed at me.
They said I was fat.
I was wrong.

I took ballet class when I was younger.
My sister said I did great.
My parents said I was too ugly.. too fat.
My sister was wrong.

I played video games and liked sports.
My dad thought it was cool.
My friends said it was weird.
My dad was wrong.

I looked at myself in the mirror one day.
I didn't like what I saw.
"This isn't right" were my exact thoughts.
Turns out im a freak.

Im not who my pictures portray me as.
Some would call me a fraud.
Some would call me a coward.
They're wrong.
Im just trying to survive.

The world is a cruel place.
I learned that when I was young.

Don't judge me if you haven't been in my shoes.
Don't pity me either that's not what I need.
All I want is to be left alone.
But I guess in a world like this, that's just too much to ask.
