All I'll be is me

entry picture

All I'll ever be is me.
I'll always be Crystal Ruth.
And I'll always be the girl
who they continuously pick on.

And through these past few years
as time went on the more they teased
and the more I felt useless.
But, I've gotten use to the teasing
and the pain that came with it.
In fact I've gotten so used to it
that there's no more feeling
what so ever.

But, maybe someday
there'll be someone out there
who will see me as me.
Not what others tend to see in me
but what I see in myself deep down.

Because all I'll ever be is me.
I'll always be Crystal Ruth.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
