Let me take you back,
back to when I was little.
Of pink streamers from a bike
and little stickers in a book.
Running down the street,
tripping and falling and brusing my knee.
Always wanting more,
Than I could have.
Just a normal childhood life,
With many friends.
Never would you have thought,
That this normal little girl,
Would turn out this bad

Trying to fight this battle,
But its just a loosing cause.
Never thought I would see the light,
Never thought I would see the end.
Always wanted to be somebody,
A doctor or a teacher,
But always wanted to be noticed.
Time after time,
saying after saying,
She wont make it, she wont amount to anything!
So many put downs, so many I can'ts.
Slowly I couldnt take it,
and they stuck them in my head.

One day someone asked me what I wanted to be,
slowly I said,
All I ever wanted is to be somebody
All I want is to be somebody
I wanna be somebody
I'm somebody

I proved everyone wrong!
Look at me now, not an I can't in my novel!
Try and tell me something I can't do,
I will prove you oh so wrong.
So just leave me and my life alone,
I am just perfect the way I am,
because I am somebody!

By quiet hands that
Tug life(color) out of her.
Gnawing edges round
Into a broken(satisfying)
