you know what describe pretty for me
tell me why they get tens while i get a three
how i am i different when we look alike
they are the beautiful roses and i'm just the spike
show me why everyone loves them not me
is it their bratty, dense attitudes, is that the key?
how can you compare what you don't understand
how can you take a word and put down what is grand
you suck up to them like they rule you
you know everyone laughs at what you do
what have you gained in life but one person's approval
does it erase the pain of your laking, is it your way for removal
it's just a deed no one will remmember when they look back
it's just a way for you to make up for what you lack
well i don't give in to your demands we are no different
don't try and boss me around you are not my parent
i'm no less than you ever were or ever will be
at least i don't need a mask to conseal the real me
i like who i am and i am not afraid to show it
if anyone found out what you were really like you'd have a fit
show me something real, show it to all of us
give to others instead of taking without a fuss
wake up and smell the roses my friend
this is the real world, you can't dress up as someone else and pretend!
Author notes
i hate being compared to everyone who is "prettier" or "hotter" than me, how can you compare me by the way i look? hwo am i different i mean i could be ugly but still be the smartest person in school, then what would you label me?
