This Is The Way I Choose To Be

I used to know this really cool girl.

She would take your life on a magical whirl.

Didn't quite matter who you were

It didn't really matter to her. 

She was funny random and loved to dance.

She was really quick to take any chance. 

People who met her loved her already. 

She looked like she could keep her life steady. 

But when she's alone she feels so left out.

She's deeply depressed without a doubt.

With people around, she covers it well.

The way she acts, the lies she sell.

You call her a fake, a poser, a lie.

Can you blame her? All she did was try. 

She wanted acceptance from all the others. 

No one noticed if she hid under the covers. 

So accept her and the way she is. 

Even if different in the presence of his. 

From shy to outgoing in the blink of an eye. 

Things change in a moment. Don't let that fly by.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

The journey to find one's self is indeed a tough road to travel. I like the way you took the soul here and turned it inside out for the world to see. You make it easy to understand what the people who are pointed out for being different go through. Your structure made me think this would make a great punk song.
