Verse 1

Black sheep
Seemingly
Out of place
With everybody
Sanity

Not mine to keep
Cast out

Pushed aside
Gaslit more

Than I wish

To fucking admit
Misunderstood
The rebel 

That only wants

To do good
If only they would see
There is so much
More to me

Than they think

If only

Chorus

Who I am
Defined for me

By people

Who never got
To fucking know me

If only they knew
If only they knew

Verse 2
Beaten down
Taken advantage of
For being nice
But then chastised 
For being being too cold

Too distant
God forbid

I would ever stand up
For myself
Called selfish

For what I need for me
Always their victim
Fighting 

To be free
I am not you
I am not meant to be who

You want me to be

Get over it
And see me

For the brilliance

That is me
Or leave me be

Because your approval
Is no longer
Something I need

Chorus
