I am someone who always gets pushed around
I am someone who when pushed never gets picked up off the ground
I am someone who in middle school days never used to cry
But ever since high school it happens every single night
I am someone who used to trust mom with everything
But ever since the baby I mean nothing
I am someone who used to be trusted after dark
Now its "Be home at 7 o'clock on the mark"
I am someone who people think is happy all the time
To me being happy is a crime
I am someone who used to have many friends
The I got ripped away and had to start all over again
I am someone who is around peer pressure everyday
I am the better person who choses to stay away
I am someone who wants a better life
And not be like others who are victims to the knife
I am someone who used to skip and play hop scotch on the street
Now its all about homework and being nice and neat
I am someone who is expected to be perfect and smart
How can they talk when they never went to collage and worked at Walmart
I am someone who even in first grade
Got teased and laughed at for my skin color every single day
I am someone whose memories make me want to run and hide
Then in reality they just make me a stronger girl inside
I am someone who tries to forget the past
And move into the future quietly and fast
I am someone who needs to be myself
When everyone is forcing me to be someone else
I am someone who needs to be somebody great
Not like my parents whose jobs they hate
I am someone who wants to be a good wife and mom
Not like mine who always drops the F bomb
I am someone who pretends to love school
When i hate to follow its silly little rules
I am someone whose going to stay ahead
And not fall into any lovers bed
I am someone who isn't going to walk away
I am someone who's going to live my life it it's fullest every single day
