Let's Clear the Water, Here
It's true, I wasn't always this way.
I came into it all on my own.
I didnt need your help
and I didn't need your approval.
Sometimes I wonder what
gave you that idea in the first place.
I am strong, I am stubborn,
and I am capable.
I do things for myself.
Not for you or for anybody else.
At one time, I wanted to be like
all of the other girls.
Sometimes I wonder
what ever got into me.
Why would I want to be like you?
To be dime-a-dozen and nondescript?
You girls are all the same,
selling yourselves short for a little popularity.
You all want to be just like your
pop culture icons. Soulless and perfect.
I know some of you, and I know what you could be.
But you dumb yourselves down
and go with what your 'friends' tell you to do
because it will make you 'cool.'
At least I sleep well at night
with a silent conscience.
I can be true to myself
because I no longer care what you think
and don't care if you don't like me.
What you think is not my problem.
