A Letter To The Editor
To whomever it may concern,
 I should say thanks for all your work
 However, I would like to voice a concern
 Because, Mr. editor, you've got me unnerved
 Frankly, what I've read was absurd
 
 Just press Control-A-Delete
 That was all you had to do
 Now what you wrote will be where it needs to be, that's all required of you
 Now maybe you can rewrite something new
 Your job description tells me exactly what you do 
 So ask of you to, print my papers properly, free of fault
 But, sir, I have a problem 
 So here's my note to you...
 
 See, I woke up one morning to go on my day 
 Went downstairs, checked my phone, no texts from Bae
 But that was when I read what your paper had to say 
 
 The front page headline read:
 "This is what you see, this is me."
 
 But, dear Mr. Editor, I've met the author of this article
 And I know what is written is not how it started off
 
 As I recall,
 The original words were heartbreaking, to say the least
 However, the paper I'm holding doesn't reflect reality 
 What you've produced is counterfeit 
 Yet your readers buy it
 They fiend for your lying 
 Worst of all, they believe
 They believe,
 What
 You
 Wrote
 About
 Me.
 
 Because of you, everyone around the world 
 Has a distorted view of this girl
 Completely and utterly false...
 And that's all she wrote
 
 No, that's all YOU printed 
 You've got our views stinted
 What's real? We've missed it
 Reality's distant
 But no one will listen 
 Because of what you've written 
 See? It's a cycle, it all comes back to you...
 
 Mr. Editor!
 
 You've got me sick like I was running a fever of over 100
 But these girls think I'm cool, and these dudes think I'm stunning
 Now you have me running, away
 
 Preparing myself for this masquerade call my day 
 Got me feeling fake and I pray, Mr. editor, erase
 Rearrange or change this face, tear stained but out of place
 So I up my pace to stay in this race
 But I'm tired...
 
 Tired of waking up another day with the same games to play 
 
 Tired of going to sleep rehearsing lines.
 I mean, rehearsing lies
 You've got me tied
 
 But I am a real girl
 
 And you can't change that 
 Can't turn my heart wooden
 Still, I complain that
 You got my heart where it shouldn't
 
 So I stop
 
 And I ask you to, too
 
 Stop trying to define me
 Quit trying to refine me
 
 For what?
 
 A higher review rate??
 
 Because here's mine;
 You've never written a word that was accurate. 
 I'm done with all your fake ideology. I ain't having it. 
 
 Because you twist the truth
 To fit the views of you 
 But your glasses are broken
 You can't see
 Me. 
 
 Mr. Editor, if I could I would fire you
 At this point I'm tired of you
 
 Let me correctly to your job;
 The headline reads:
 "This isn't what you see, this isn't me. Look underneath"
 
 See, you are Frankenstein and I'm your monster 
 But I am really real, I can't play puppet any longer 
 
 I am no longer who you create 
 I am unedited, I'm no longer fake
 Honestly, I've never been me
 So, Mr. Editor, just press delete.
