Born this Way?

I see it around me at all times, but I don’t have enough tears to cover

I haven’t always been the good girl, but I try to laugh

I’ve seen more than I know, and I know more now that I hurt

My pain has taken control,

I twists and scorns and tells me I never was.

What I’ve done is who I am, and that will never change

I fell, and it hurt.

I told, and it hurt

I stood, and it hurt.

My life has been one never ending lyric,

A chorus chanting words that pierce my flesh and break my bones.

Oceans of hate burn, mountains made of lies crush.

My pain is taking control,

I twists and scorns and tells me I never was.

What I’ve done is who I am, and that will never change

I fell, and it hurt.

I told, and it hurt

I stood, and it hurt.

I hear songs telling me who I should be, and how I should be capable of love,

But what I see is different, masks and dances, false fronts and stabbing friends

Taking what it needs and more, the morning has become a war zone

My pain took control,

I twists and scorns and tells me I never was.

What I’ve done is who I am, and that will never change

I fell, and it hurt.

I told, and it hurt

I stood, and it hurt.

She says I never cry, and she’s wrong,

I only cry alone, by myself.

Below I only hear laughter, but above I hear a whisper

My pain did take control,

I twisted and scorned and told me I never was.

What I did is not who I am, and that will never change

I fell, and it hurt.

I told, and it hurt

I stood, and it hurt.

I see it around me at all times, but I don’t have enough tears to cover

I haven’t always been the good girl, but I try to laugh

I’ve seen more than I know, and I know more now that I hurt
