I changed everything to fit in
To be accepted

They called me fat
So I stopped eating to lose weight
They called me ugly
So I started wearing makeup
They said I never tried
So I did my hair and made sure I was acceptable
They said I looked awful
So I changed my style
They said I was stupid
So I started to try to be smarter
They said I was weird
So I started acting normal
They said I talked too much
So I stopped talking

I went from a girl who couldn't care less about
How she looked
How she acted
To a girl who cares way too much about
How she looks
How she acts

Their words hurt
So I changed
To get them to stop
With their hurtful
Words and actions

Was all the change good?
I really don't know
I feel like I'm a completely different person
From who I used to be
But maybe that's how things were supposed to work out
Maybe this is who I'm supposed to be
Maybe this I who I was to begin with
I just needed help finding it again
I'll probably never know

I changed everything to fit in
To be accepted

And now, this is me.
