    This will probably be my last piece for a while.

    It's Who You Are

    I laugh at you
    And your conviction that you're so cool
    With those shiny red new high heels
    And the way you seem so manufactured
    And now you've got my attention
    But in the completely wrong way
    Go ahead and think that being in style will make you attractive
    I still know you're afraid to be yourself
    People laugh when you are, no matter what you say or do
    But right now I'm the one who's laughing
    I laugh at you

    And I find it so hilarious that you think you've got him
    And I find it so sad that you think you're cool
    And I think that all the stereotypes you try to be apart of
    Will soon tear apart you

    I smile at you
    And that glossy lipstick, so sensual
    Wondering what happened to the "I don't give a fuck"
    What happened to the "I'll never change"
    And it seems you're just so manufactured
    Fractured your own identity
    And now it's all crumbled and broken
    Go ahead think that being "Normal" will make you truly normal
    I still know you're afraid to be yourself
    People laugh when you are, no matter what you say or do
    But right now in disbelief I'm the one who's smiling
    I smile at you

    And I find it so hilarious that you think you've got him
    And I find it so sad that you think you're cool
    And I think that all the stereotypes you try to be apart of
    Will soon tear apart you

    And I hope one day you can see through this nonsense
    One day you'll be who you really are
    But for now

    I find it so hilarious that you think you've got him
    And I find it so sad that you think you're cool
    And I think that all the stereotypes you try to be apart of
    Will soon tear apart you
    (We'll laugh at you)

    That was really good. I think it reflects a lot of what's going on in the world today with people and self image.
