Can I not be me?
Can I never be myself here?
Why isn't being me never enough?
I have to fake being something I'm not
I have to make my life full of stripes,
change to spots
I can't be this way forever
I just wish I could be accepted so easy
Like the other girls...
I wish that one day I could be as good as everyone else
But that will probably never happen
Because I am a stripe, in the middle of all the spots
And no one likes anyone who is different
