Don't turn away
don't ignore the tears running down my face.
you don't understand the girl I want to be
or how bad I want to be free
trapped inside the body of a freak
nobody bothering to see the real me
all you see is the black I wear
and the child pulling on my hair.
all you care about is how much I weigh
why do people treat me this way?
I've made mistakes and that okay.
but please don't turn away.
I've always wanted to fit in
but I don't even fit in my skin.
please ignore what you see
because I promise you
It's not me.

wow this is amazing. I'm the same exact way, but I could never express how bad it truly made me feel. You did. "don't ignore the tears running down my face.
you don't understand the girl I want to be
or how bad I want to be free"
thats basically me.... Great job. Keep it up!
