Look at me and see what you want

Never want the fame but I do want the glory

I'm never going back to who I was

People judge me than say it's all in my head

I swore higher than the eagle with much pain

Pain that they can't see, feel, or ever want to understand

Looking in the mirror why do I cry

So much pain I feel like this has been the most hurt in my heart

Trying is never enough I must succeed in everything I do to prove a point that won't get me any chance to change a once judged mind

Blood running deep in my skin the veins and vessels that I call my own

Why judge on the person that tries her best

The pain that I leak from my weak mouth words coming out that no one can understand

Notice me for the brains that I grow to become a brilliant mind

The choices I make will never become the choices they will take

One on my mind and one in my wallet never spent that friendship like they did

I take a deep breath and ask myself why am I on the edge and not in my class I daydream about my tomorrow what will become of it

The pain that I feel leaks slowly from my veins nothing but weakness that I feel

What a shame that you had so much but have little now

No one will ever take a chance with a person like me

Let me be the one that will turn the world around in the next decade so they know who I am

Looking for an answer but no ones at home why does my heartache

Sad that I became who I am today and not who I wanted to grow up to become

Just another misunderstood teen in this world

No time for a world that has to judge me so poorly
