Not Me

I am not the girl who does these things
I'm not the one you see
This crazy, horrible nonsense
Has not been done by me

I don't throw up the things I eat
I never skip a meal
I'm not someone who hurts herself
And I would never steal

I don't have any secrets
I've no need to tell a lie
I've never attempted suicide
I've no reason to want to die

I've never been in the hospital
Or an ambulance or cop car
I've never lived in a group home
Nowhere near, or far

I've never been in restraints
I've never been sent away
Never been in treatment
Or had meds brought on a tray

I don't need to take pills
I am already sane
I don't need to go to therapy
I've got nothing to gain

I sleep soundly every night
No trouble there, it seems
I've never had a flashback
I never have bad dreams

I've never been abused
Physically or sexually
Nor emotional or mental
It's never happened to me

I've never dissociated
Never had a panic attack
I'm not this person people think I am
So please, take it all back

This awful girl you're speaking of
This terrible person you see
You must be mistaking with someone else
Because, it's just not me
