She says things that get in my head

Now i become everything she ever said

She says my insecurities, I try to hide

Could never escape, no matter how hard i tried

My arms are to damn hairy

I'll always be weak no matter what i carry

I'm to skinny to play any sport

Be the manager and get off the court

I eat to much, but not enough

Keeping track of my weight is to damn rough

I sleep to much, I should sleep less

I'm so unorganized I'm such a mess

You used to ask why I always looked depressed

By the way i walked and dressed

You think it's me but your the one who has changed

you make it look like I'm the one who is deranged

You say my hair is to short i should grow it out

I'm not feminine, like what are you talking about

My tears start to run down my face

You wonder why my respect disappeared without a trace

I just wanted to hear you say you were proud

But the expression on your face says it loud

It wasn't my decision to be who i am 

I was forced at a young age and you don't give a damn

You think I get the influence from my friends

I guess you will never know since this is where it ends

This is a struggle that most teenagers go through and almost everyone can understand what im trying to say here but others wouldn't.
