I’m a girl who pushes a door that says pull,
a girl that’s emotional
I’m a girl that used to cry when her dad yelled at her
I’m a girl that nobody
knows what I’ve been thru
I’m a girl that has four eyes,
a girl that is weird,
a girl that hates school
I’m a girl that wants a future
a girl that has a future
and that girl is me
