I am what I am
This is the way I need to be me
When I don't know what I want to be.
My purple hair, pierced tongue and nose
painted face, torn, and faded clothes.
Confusion shows plainly on my face
You only have to listen to my case.
Don't drink, don't smoke, don't have no fun
Yet that's what I see in everyone.
"Oh, grow up", "no, your way to young"
Which one is it, forked tongue.
I am not sad, or bad, or confused
Just a teen, trying to be amused.
But where do I go, and what do I do
I can only depend on that from you.
You have to be there to understand
That we're both living in alien land.
So ignore the masks, the poses and stuff
and remember that this world is tough.
It was for you and it is for me
So trust that I'll be the best I can be.
