In Your Shadow

by Kirsty   Oct 22, 2007


Watching you from the window
I wonder why Im always in your shadow
Is it because Im not pretty enough
Or is it the other stuff
Is it because Im not skinny
Is it because sometimes Im spotty
Is it because Im not the girl in the mini skirt
Thinking this really does hurt
You act like a show off
Then you go and slag yourself off
How can you say the things that you do
When you know its not true
Everyone falls to your feet
And they all are ready to compete
For a space in your heart
And it tears me apart
Because Im not as good as you
Though the feeling is not new
I just want to be me
And for people to actually see
To accept me for who I am
I want you to actually give a damn
Im sorry Im not beautiful
And dont look like an angel
Sorry my hair isnt always perfect
Sorry if I wont let you treat me like an object
Im sorry I get upset
But perhaps one day youll see and regret
The way youve made me feel
Perhaps it really isnt a big deal
But it still hurts inside
And Im so tired of trying to hide
