You are so blind
Shallow as can be
You see your daughter
But that’s not me.
I have a problem
I cannot articulate
But does it justify
My miserable fate?!
I am what I am
And not what you see
Look beyond my outer self
And find the real me.
Wake up to reality
Open your eyes
See how I try
To grow and rise.
My feelings and emotions
Are difficult to express
But why destroy
Shatter and suppress?!
I am a person
Just like you
I have feelings
And I’m sensitive too.
I’m not my sister
Not my friend
I am I
A different beginning, a different end.
I am unique
Don’t compare
I have a distinct personality
A different flair.
If you acknowledge
That I am I
You’ll easily see the real me
Eye to Eye!
