I Don't Want To Be Me MAG
I don't want to be this porcelain doll anymore.
All I do is sit and watch.
I see her cry and cry with her.
I hear her laugh and laugh along.
She sits in front of me and tells me all
Saying, "Stardust, my friend, I need your help again."
If only I was alive to tell her I understand.
Saying, "I love you, my friend."
Instead, I stand quietly and long to be like her.
I don't want to be this porcelain doll anymore.
I want to see the sun and feel the warmth.
To have a face of gentle skin, I would give anything.
Yet I stare, wishing and dreaming.
Hearing her say, "I wish I were you."
All this time, I sit and wish I were her.
I don't want to be me.
I stand in my pink, fluffy suit and long to be held.
To feel her arms wrapped around me, hear her soft heartbeat.
Or, better yet, if I could just slightly touch her and
to take away the pain.
I don't want to be me!
I want to comb my hair, and dance around.
I would tell her everything then hug her.
Oh, she would hug me; we would hug each other!
It's just a dream.
I don't want to be this porcelain doll anymore!
I feel her touch my cold, pale face.
Wishing it would magically bring me to life.
I don't want to be me!
I want to be her!
If I could scream, I would yell so loud.
Then I'd laugh and giggle.
I'd love, I'd frown.
I'd hate, I'd smile.
I'd wish ...
No, I'm wishing now.
It's all I can do.
I don't want to be me!
