Frustrated

Frustrated

Why do I feel run down?

Tired and worthless

Forgotten and useless

What happened to my cut of the prime DNA?

We were supposed to split it three ways

And I got stuck with the happy go-lucky look

I got cheated

I want to be smart

I want to be beautiful

I want to be everything I’m not

Everyday I’m criticized

Why can’t you do this?

Why can’t you do that?

You just don’t try hard enough!

What do they want from me?

I’ve torn what’s left of a soul

I hate every fiber of my being

I detach myself

And analyze myself

Over and over again

I put the pieces you approve of all together

And hid the rest away

I hate the bits you like

But everyone else seems happier

I’m tired of this masquerade

Every time I think about it

I feel like crying

But you told me crying is for the weak

So I dried all my tears away

They continue to tell people: the miracle child

Oh yes she is, can’t you tell?

She’s so smart!

She’s so athletic!

But shut the doors and block the windows

She’s the dumbest of all three

She’s couldn’t win a game even if she tried

That’s what they tell me at home

I’m so tired of all of this

I’m worn and frustrated

I can’t stand it anymore

What more can I do

To make you all happy

I feel like the comedian who just can’t get a laugh

The singer who can’t catch her big break

The dancer that can’t stop tripping

So leave me alone

Two more years and I’m out of your hair

And I’ll go as far as I can away from you

Leave this town, this state, this stupid country!

I just want to get away

And be alone to pick up what left of me

Can’t you see,

That you’re the worst thing to happen to me?
