Like Everyone Else
I don't know myself anymore
 I don't know who I am
 Or what I want
 Or even where I belong.
 
 And I guess I'm just like everyone else
 Like every other girl.
 
 I can laugh and talk like any other girl
 Though sometimes it's an effort.
 I can fake smiles too,
 Just as well as any of you.
 I can be like everyone else.
 
 Still I got what I need,I guess
 As everyone says
 Great grades,even a few friends.
 And I don't know what i'm missing either
 Just that I'm missing something
 That I need something more.
 
 I don't know why I feel so alone
 Why I have to fight away tears
 Why I can't face myself in the mirror.
 I don't think I know anything
 About anything anymore.
 
 They told me to try
 And fit in
 I could be
 Like everyone else
 Like just any other girl
 And I tried.
 See I'm here
 I'm just like everyone else.
 
 I can fake a smile
 To disguise who I am 
 I can blink away the tears
 And be things I'm not.
 
 And I can look ahead to the future
 But I'm scared about what it holds
 Nothing to scare me...
 But I'm scared of this life
 
 This life of being like everyone else
 Of fighting who I am
 Of fake smiles and blinking away tears.
 
 I don't know if I want to go back
 And then maybe I could find what I'm missing
 But I know those days are gone
 They won't return ever again.
 And I need to look ahead.
 Look forward top something safe and bland and grey.
 
 But trust me I'm ok
 I won't shatter like glass
 All over the floor.
 I'll try to find that me I've lost,maybe
 Or maybe, I'll just morph into everyone else.
