Did I say you could tell me
What I'm supposed to do?
Did you ever hear me say
I'd take orders from you?
You say you have the answer
But how can that be true
When you don't even understand
The question that I'm askin you?

Sometimes it's like...I'm misunderstood
Sometimes it's like...I don't know who I am.
Sometimes it's like...my friends are the only ones
Who understand or even give a damn
About me
How I feel
What's goin' on
Hey, what's wrong?
Is it right?
Do I care?
They're the ones who understand
They're the ones who give a damn
Cause they know what it's like to be

A Girl Like Me

I don't always know what's right
But I guess I'm doin' fine
'Cept for when I seem to get it right
I've stepped across the line
That I didn't know was there
And I'm pullin out my hair cause

Sometimes it's like...I'm misunderstood
Sometimes it's like...I don't know who I am.
Sometimes it's like...my friends are the only ones
Who understand or even give a damn
About me
How I feel
What's goin' on
Hey, what's wrong?
Is it right?
Do I care?
They're the ones who understand
They're the ones who give a damn
Cause they know what it's like to be

A Girl Like Me

Ah the universal teen truths.You got your point across, and I think you did it effectively, that makes for a good poem.

This is awesome! I know a lot of people try to say things like this, and i think you said it just right Nicely done!

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.
