Stop trying to change me! I like the way I am.

You don’t know me, so stop acting like you do.
Stop saying you’re my parents, because quite frankly, I hate you.
I hate the way you criticize everything I wear
I hate the way you give me glances and unapproving stares.

Stop trying to change me! I like the way I am.
I like the music I listen to, I like my screamo bands.
Stop trying to change me! I like the way I dress.
I go black for rebellion, not pink to impress

You’ve molded me my whole life, into a perfect little girl
But I hate what you did to me, you made me hate this world.
I couldn’t have fun, I always had to follow commands
Doing chores on holiday’s, and wearing outfits I couldn’t stand

Stop trying to change me! I like to sleep in late
I like to write my heart out, and find people who can relate.
Stop trying to change me! I dream about vampires
I’d rather live forever, then grow old and retire.

No, I can’t speak my mind, or I’m considered a ‘brat’
To understand my feelings, and listen is ALL I ask.
I’m young and stupid, I don’t understand things
But one thing I know, is that you two are cruel and mean

Stop trying to change me! I like reading books.
About boys who care about personality, not just looks.
Stop trying to change me! I like my messy/teased hair,
I like my bangs in my eyes, and if you don’t—I don’t care!

Lasty, stop trying to steer me, into the person that I ‘should’ be.
I don’t care what happens from now until then, I just want to be me.
I don’t care if I’m dirt poor, Partying till I can’t breathe
I’d be happy anyways, because for once in my life; I’m free!
