shadow.

I may not be who you think I am.

I am a chameleon. I am who you want me to be. You want a friend who rant to? I'm there. You want someone to cry with? I'm there. I am whoever you need/want me to be.

I'm a shadow of a human. That's what 8th grade and 3 months of high school did to me. It robbed me of everything.

I am no one.

You try to tell me who I am and what I have- what I love to do- but you don't know me. No one does.

I don't anymore.

You say I like books but they just break my heart at the end. You say I like music but sometimes it makes me cry. You say I like my friends but I don't know if they're actually my friends. You say I like fashion but it's just cloth draped over my prison of flesh. You say I like tech and robotics but I don't understand it anymore.

You don't know me. So stop acting like you do.

I don't know me. So stop pretending like I do.

People say, "just be yourself," but I am ever changing and I don't know who I am so how can I be myself?

Sometimes I wonder- if I have multiple personalities. I can be her around that chick and I have to her around him and I can't be her around them so I have to her her.

I'm no one on the inside. I'm everyone on the outside.

I'm only human.
