i don't want to be that girl,
the girl that everyone speaks to,
but no one really likes.
the girl who says she's happy
when everyone knows she not.
I don't want to be the girl everyone smiles at,
yet the moment she turns around their whispers stab.
i don't want to be “that girl
the one everyone claims to know
but doesn't know her middle name.
that girl that works so hard to make everyone like her
but only ends up making a fool of herself.
because i shouldn’t be that girl.
I’m The girl.
The girl people look up to
the girl people love to be around
the girl that can light up a room with just one smile
the one that works her back end off for what she wants
the one who will stand for what she believes in.
i want to be the girl who turns the world upside down
the one you can't forget
the one that no matter what happens
will leave her mark on the world.
