I'm too smart, or not smart enough,
I'm the girl you don't want your parents to meet,
I'm either too bad, or I'm too sweet,
You love me, but despise me,
You'll never fantasize me,
You ignore me and walk on by,
You may smile at me and say hi,
But you never think of me at all,
I'm just another faceless doll,
I never wanted you to love me as your girl,
I never wanted to be bought diamonds and pearls,
But I'm tired of being a nobody to you,
I'm tired of trying to figure out what to do,
To get you to notice me, to look at me for once,
I want you to come after me, not be the one who hunts,
I dress up and I dress down, but you're not scathed,
I look for your salvation yet am not saved,
What more do you want me to do for your stare
Is it my clothes, my face, my hair,
Do you not like my personality?
Am I too bubbly, not enough?
Too strong, too girly, what should I change???
What do you want from me, I need to know
Because you're not just one man or woman, you're everyone.
