Who Will Love Me As I Am?

Who will love me as I am?

Just plain little me

Nothing special

The girl behind the facade

The masquerade

Behind the fake smiled plastered on her face

The girl, not the marionette

 

 

Who will love me as I am?

I am not what I appear to be

There's so much more than meets the eye

Looking at me

You'd think I was shallow

Callow

But if you really tried

You can see the layers inside

You'd be able to see

The girl behind the make up

The glamorous dresses

Behind the flirt she pretends to be

 

 

Who will love me as I am?

I am not a marionette

Not a flower

Not a peacock

Not a doll

But you can't seem to understand that

To you

I'm simply your toy

Your plaything

And when you're done

You'd toss me in the dump

I try to believe

That what I'm doing is

What's best for me

But really

It's what's best for you

And I don't want to live like this anymore

I can't continue losing myself

Bit by bit

As I gradually become

The doll you think I am

As I gradually stop

Making my own decisions

As I gradually start

Succumbing to your every wish

I'd hoped it wouldn't come to this

But you leave me no choice

You leave me no way out of this mess

Without heartache

The only thing you have left me

Is that one lingering question

 

 

Who will love me as I am?

This is very, very well written. I loved the flow and writing all together in this. Very well done.
