You once said I was loud so I became quiet You once said I was selfish so I started to care more for others than myself You once said I was illiterate so I flooded my brain with books and inarticulate words You once said I was ugly so I put on so much makeup I was borderline unrecognizable Loud Selfish Illiterate Ugly But then it’s too quiet Then it’s self neglectant Then it’s nerd Then it’s fake I couldn’t do anything right You once said I was ***** so I wore short skirts and crop tops just like the rest of them You once said I was different so I fit as much of myself that I could into a perfect little mold You once said I was husky so I stopped eating lunch You once said I was lonely so I started befriending more guys than I could count ***** Different Husky Lonely But then it’s ****** Then it’s wanna be Then it’s anorexic Then it’s ***** Trying got me nowhere and i’ll never be like everyone else But wait. Why would I want to be? Since when I did I care about all that? I was not loud I am just expressive I was not selfish I’m just not open I was not illiterate I’m just still learning I was not ugly I just have flaws Why did I believe you in the first place? I was not ***** I just rock a turtleneck I was not different we are all unique I was not husky I just had thighs for days I was not lonely…am not lonely. So why would I change myself for the likes of you?

Not So Constructive Critisism
