My last words...


One day I will be gone, never to return,

you'll search, you'll wonder, but never know why

I will fade into the darkness, lost and never found,

It is then you'll realize, that you didn't even say goodbye


Ever since I remember, 

You need to change — I was told

Don’t do this, don’t do that, don’t be YOU,

The entire world against me, lo and behold!


It was a success! Well, here I am,

The ever changing version of me,

I don’t recognize the person in the mirror anymore,

Coz I’m always adapting to who YOU want me to be. 


You’re too loud, you're too intense 

You’re so immature, you’re such a child

Stop yelling, stop crying, stop feeling, stop speaking,

You should’ve cried, no, wait, you should’ve smiled. 


I keep changing myself, hoping one day

I will be seen for who I really am,

What an irony that is, I don’t blame you,

This change thing, I tell ya, is all such a sham


But am I so flawed? God must've made a mistake!

coz nothing about me seems right, I am always in the wrong,

I'm loud, just too much, I'm impatient, I have a temper,

yes, you've all got me convinced, here, I don't belong.


Do tell me, is it really that bad to be me?

Is it bad to be loud, feisty, fun, stubborn?

I don’t question or make fun of you, so why me?

coz I've been all of that ever since I was born.


What do you get by making fun of me?

What do you get by judging me so?

I don't think you're perfect either,

so why the humiliation and what's with the pomp and show?


Now I feel worthless, and I feel unimportant

I smile, I laugh, I really try. But the truth is I just wanna die

I just wish I had the courage to make that happen,

rid you all of the nuisance I am, bid you all goodbye


But when I am not around, is when you will miss me,

coz the life of the party would be gone,

I hope that'll teach you to not bully her,

when someday another one like me comes along.
