People tell me I’m pathetic
People tell me I’m hopeless
People tell me I’m useless
And some tell me I’m a coward
I pretend I don’t care
I pretend this is a play
I pretend noone exists
And others pretend I’m not there
It hurts when I talk out loud
It hurts because they hurt me
It hurts to be somebody
And I don’t know why it hurts
I don’t want to be hurting
I don’t want to be acting
I don’t want to be ignored
But I need to be me
