Stop scolding me stop comparing me to her

Stop reminding me of all the things you wish I were

I know enough that I'm a monster, I'm not like other girls

I hurt everyone, but I am also hurt


If I don't cry, does that mean I don't matter?

To be loved, do I have to be weak?

I don't cry because I want to be the shoulder

For everyone to let it out and lean on me


I swear I know I'm a monster

I know that I hurt you

But can monsters one day start to matter?

Because they have feelings too...
