Tell everyone who I am,
tell them who I
wanna be;
Tell them how you're
not the person I ever
wish to see.
You may also tell them
how well I'm broken,
and how you made me
that way.
Just tell them how much
I'm ripped open, bleeding
what I know to be true.

So go ahead and persue
your reputation by
flaunting how much
I miss you,
but be sure to remember
to say just how much
you're lying.

Good job. I like how it's kind of like "well, yeah you hurt me. So what? You didn't change who I am." At least, that's what I pulled from it... :) Anyways, I really like it. Good job. :)

&quot;To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It&#039;s not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Taylor Swift
