They call me a emo girl,
but wasn't used to be the one.
They call me introverted,
but wasn't used be the one.
They call me the depressed one.
but I was made into one.
There was a time when my extroverted self was alive.
There was a time when I used to smile.
There was a time when I wasn't a emo girl.
But they made me into one.
"You weren't like this before" says the one while being the reason themselves for the change.
"Such a failure" I got to hear that every single day.

as it was not the fear of being not perfect but rather being a "disappointment".
Their expectations were slapped upon me.
Their toxic standards, toxic behaviour,
were all normalised.
But being myself was weird for them.
Loving myself was self obsession,
according to them.
As they were the puppeteers of my life.
They play with the life of every teenager
And I was just the one of them.
Who "they" are? u may ask.
It was our so called society.
