Don't

I'm mad, but I don't want to be

I'm scared, but don't have to be

I'm happy, but don't show it

I'm sad, but don't know it

I'm in love, but don't let it fool you

I hate, but don't let it rule you

I believe in fate, but don't let it rule me

I believe in choices, but don't make the right ones

I feel alone, but don't think I am

I'm a woman, but don't need to flaunt it 

I'm a sister, but don't see the relevance

I'm a student, but don't care for the teachers

I'm a dancer, but don't look it.

I'm an actress, but don't work 

I'm a genius, but don't have any common sense

I'm surrounded by brilliance, but don't see it at work

I'm from earth, but, most days, I don't feel like it.
