"I am so confident, sure of myself!"

Don't you know you are just like everyone else?

"I'm so independent, I love going my own way and being my own person."

Then why must you always need someone to stay?

Immediately I think of God, but that's stupid right? You cannot see him, how unreliable.

Why do you draw your inspiration from me? I am younger than you, yet I am copied on who I want to be,
How I dress, how I act
My phrases slowly become yours

What was once in my hand suddenly appears up your sleeve.
How did it end up there?
Good magicians never reveal secrets.
Yet it is so obvious, you took it straight from me.

"I hate when people are too into God. It's so annoying. No one wants to hear the gospel 24/7."

"#baptized"

NO DIVING
I read at the edge of your pond.
I must be at the shallow end.

'Knowing your creator' for the sake of your friends?
We cannot save you on judgement day.

"My parents are so stupid and strict, they never let me drink."

Surely not for your own good!
Your search for a niche
is so desperate!
Trust me, I know part of you wants to be that party bitch.
Or secret slut, already half way there
But no one says anything
Because your feelings get hurt.
Then why'd you do it?

"My last boyfriend was a religious freak. I was trapped in that relationship."

Oh, please!
Trying too hard to fit in, like physical and verbal abuse is the new and hot trend.
Do not act like you have taken a blow
because he told you that your shirt was too low.
Not to mention, you waited on his foot and hand, also not worried about getting dirtied by the sand.
At the time, he was your everything.
If you were so trapped, how did a year pass before HE broke your stained glass
How beautiful but imperfect
A deception of uniqueness
Wanting to stand out!
Fragile! Handle with care
Because you must be handled
By an outside force
A person on earth
Not the One who knows your heart
A temporary nurse.

"I'm such a trendsetter."

I don't want to follow you
As you go and act foolish
Do as you please
But I've stopped taking your shit
I am the understudy
You are the counterfeit.
